Today I jogged to Opoku Ware SS School so I could see Gifty on her first day as a food vendor there, and bless her and pray for her. I couldn’t find her and managed a 10K jog in trying. Later she called and said the other ladies had told her I was looking for her, but she was late arriving.
The power has been so intermittent since the storm that there has been no need to defrost the fridge whose auto-defrost doesn’t function. My laptop also runs on battery and then the power comes on long enough to recharge it and then goes out again. Currently (no pun intended) it is on and I am back to 95% charged up.
After meeting Ahlassan yesterday, he went to visit his wife in hospital. This morning I got a phone call that she had just died and left him with 4 children! I know of no way to comfort a young man in such circumstances. I have not been able to reach him or his close friends all day. My timber cutting will be delayed.
The rattle in the exhaust that was fixed yesterday began to rattle again today and so we were headed to the mechanic area when the car began to act up from overheating. The mechanic determined that rear engine block coolant hose had sprung a leak, so the family and I left the car for repair (with a deposit to purchase a new hose and sealant), and took a TroTro to Santasi and from there a taxi home. I expect that Kenneth will bring the car to me when it is repaired, and I shall take him back.
