It's the first day of the last month of the year and I am exhausted. It's the end of term, but I am doing a lot of online work and I am tremendously busy. I wish it was possible to survive on my salary, but I think the longest it has lasted is ten days. Like all Zimbabweans, we have a number of jobs. The B&B is just one of our incomes.
I am very grateful for the things that do bring us some money, but it does mean working all hours and sometimes you have to ask yourself if the amount of work put in is worth it. I spend so much time writing articles about things I am not even interested in and there is so much I would rather be doing. At the moment, all I want to do is get out in the garden and do some weeding. I want to make the Christmas pudding and finish the book I have been reading for the last three months.
The electricity has been on for a whole week. As today is the first, there is a big rush to buy electricity as the first 200 units bought every month are cheaper than the next batch. We are very low on electricity but John and Ellie are at an all day panto rehearsal and I am busy so we will have to stretch it out until tomorrow.
