The attack of the safari ants

Our experiences here continue to broaden, yesterday about 4pm we discovered a hoard of safari ants had invaded the house. Those of you who have been here will know what vicious little creatures they are but for those that don't..... they are BIG ants by NZ standards and the beggars can bite!!. One can of spray later got rid of most of them but it was nasty there for a while, Marilyn kept imagining them still there when we went to bed. We have enjoyed the time we have had when the boys are at school but also enjoy it when they come home.
Today (Saturday) four of the big boys left the compound to visit friends in the neighbouring villages and the four others spent time up at the home while Marilyn and I visited the two boys from last year, Alex & Simon, at their high school. It was quite a mission for us to get there. We first took a boda ride to Mukono, met up with a counsellor (Immaculate -don't you love the African names) and she negotiated a private hire to take us to the boy's school and collect us and return us to Noah's Ark. The boys were so delighted to see us and, indeed, us them, they are such lovely boys. We spent about two hours with them and Marilyn was able to get the guitar we had bought last year. We returned home about 2.30pm exhausted and hungry but the boys descended soon after so recovery time was non exsistent. However we got a TV and DVD player down here from the home tonight so it was nice to relax with the boys and watch a children's DVD. Guess we will get to know all the children's movies. Mama and Papa have quite a supply.
Baby Judith is still in hospital and seems to be keeping some food down now but is still critical. She is a twin and is so tiny compared to her brother, who is the picture of health. So keep praying for her.
