June 30th (Saturday)

We were all very grateful to be able to sleep in a bit today. Yesterday was very busy. It was nice to have a slower morning. We had pancakes a la Nicole. Mwansa gave us some syrup so we definitely took advantage of that. We then took our books out to our back porch and sat in the sun soaking up the late morning warmth.

For lunch we made coleslaw and Nicole found a great homemade coleslaw dressing recipe online and it was simple to make and very good. We ate outside and Nicole and I also made salmon sandwiches. We joked that Fiona was eating cabbage for all meals of the day! But hey, I guess, ’tis the season, hahaha! We finished our afternoon outside and moved indoors for supper.

When Fiona came inside she discovered that her window had been broken and there was glass all over the bed (there was 2 small beds in her room and it was on the one she hadn’t been sleeping on) and there was glass on the floor and what looked to be bird poop on the bed and a small feather. At first glance it looked as if someone had thrown a rock except there was no rock and so with all of the bird evidence we figure a bird must have flown into the window. We did hear a loud bang when we were outside reading but didn’t think much of it. We never found the bird in the house so it must have flown out the way it had come in.

For supper we made a new variation of our fried cabbage, this time we added some chick peas and beets which gave it a nice bright colour and it was very tasty! We also made lemon meringue pie. We played some Mexican Train to finish off the evening and Fiona was finally able to call her parents. Also, I got a funny half leg burn and Nicole got a slight burn too haha.//
