After numerous attempts to phone ZESA, John eventually goes into their office in town to make a report. They assure him that the matter will be sorted out later today. The electricity has become increasingly erratic with some plugs working sometimes. Although the lights are working, both the meter for the house and the one for the cottages are blank.
The woman from the cottage comes up to the house to use the internet which we run off the inverter. It is the first time I have seen her leave the cottage since she arrived. Every day, she wears the same dress or wraps herself in a piece of cloth. She makes various skype calls and spends a lot of time on her laptop and, at the end of it all, says that she is arranging to receive money via Western Union. Then she disappears back into the cottage.
A lady contacts me about a piano she would like restored. She describes it as ‘vandalised’. When I tell John, he pulls a face, but says he will go and see it.
Another lady contacts me about staying this weekend, but our German visitor does not leave until Monday.
By the time evening comes, ZESA have not responded to the fault.
