House hunting (2)

The house hunting resulted in moving to a different rental house on the 10th of August. Finally a house with running water. The house has three bedrooms, two showers, a real kitchen a hot water. It is a big improvement compared to where we camp now. However the new garden is only 1/3 of the current size and has no banana plantation. One of our dogs (Kito) will dislike the new place, no more hunting and chasing animals in the garden. The house also has boys quarters; separate smaller buildings in the garden. We have employed a lady named Hope, who will life there. Initially she will work half days in the household for us and when the cheese making starts, she will help with all the cleaning involved with the cheese making. The biggest advantage is that we will be able to travel since we have now someone who can take care of the dogs.

Even after moving we still will be camping. The house we rent now is fully furnished. Although I would argue if plastic plates can be considered as fully furnished. We are moving to a house without furniture. The moving will not take long, although we have now have 4 dog baskets en two dog pillows (yes we only have 3 dogs). We will borrow a bed and a bread making machine. In the mean time we have acquired 4 plates, 4 mugs, 4 glasses, cutlery, a set of pans and 2 chairs. This means we will just survive. Although we still have to find a solution for the fridge and the stove.

We have good news on the movement of the container. I has arrived in Mombasa and the transporter is expecting it in Kampala in a weeks’ time. How long customs will take is not clear. In the best case we will have our goods mid August. Worse case I do not want to think about. It means more camping.
