This is my day for auditing - but much of my time has been spent writing up the course, and trying to make sure the details are both correct, and simple. I am getting there. Having Microsoft Word crash on me at the end of the day when I was about to complete two pages of sample transactions did not help!
Just for variety I taught an "Introduction to Computers" class in the afternoon while the staff had a meeting. This is a short course offered to the community, and for most it is their first experience of computers. My session was about Windows - introducing them to the task bars, icons, menus, and various components of the Windows desktop environment. At 2.40 p.m. I warned them about the importance of saving their files. At 2.44 p.m. the power dropped out! The two-hour class finished, but only 10 minutes early.
In the afternoon we went for a walk - past the market. Just for a change we bought some mandazi from the kids selling them on the street.

What is mandazi?
Mandazi = Tanzanian donuts!
They may not be round, but they taste like donuts, minus the sugar coating we get in Australia.
At 100 Tshs (about 10-12 cents) they are OK. A good snack late in the day, or nice with a cup of coffee for breakfast.
The kids are good with food handling too. They have a fork (or spike), stick it in the mandazi, and wrap it in paper - generally a bit ripped from a newspaper. This morning I even got a comic strip with my mandazi, except taht is was in Swahili.
Computers crashing, power going out, not unlike some occasions over here. Though power out probably happens substantially less here :)
