OUR NEW HOUSE

MOVING TO ANOTHER HOUSE

TWO DAYS BEFORE WE HAD TO LEAVE FOR SOUTH AFRICA FOR COBUS TO DO HIS MEDICAL, WE HAD TO MOVE TO A NEW HOUSE. WE WERE LOOKING FOR A MORE QUITE HOUSE WITH A BIT MORE SPACE AND PRIVACY THAT WE DON`T HAVE TO KEEP THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH`S CAREGROUP AND BIBLE STUDY IN OUR ROOM.

OUR LANDLORD INFORMED US THAT THE HOUSE AT THE BACK OF THE AREA WHERE WE WERE LIVING ARE AVAILABLE AND THAT WE COULD HAVE IT AT THE SAME RENT. THE HOUSE IS OLDER BUT BIGGER AND IS SITUATED RIGHT AT THE BACK CLOSE TO A PATCH OF JUNGLE. IT IS REALLY QUITE DOWN THERE AND ONLY THE BIRDS, SQUIRRELS AND A FEW COWS AND WATERBUFFALOWS THAT ARE GRAZING AROUND THE HOUSE.

WE ALSO DID GET A DOG WITH THE HOUSE. IN THE BEGINNING WE THOUGHT IT WAS A MALE AND GIVE HIM THE NAME "BRAKKENJAN" BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS SHE WAS COMING CLOSER AND WE REALISED IT IS A BITCH DOG. HER NAME WAS CHANGED TO "BRAKKENSAN". WE BELIEVE SHE WAS BADLY MISTREATED AS SHE WAS KEEPING A DISTANCE BUT NOW SHE RELAXED AND AFTER TREATING HER FOR TICKS AND FLEAS WE LET HER SOMETIME COME TO LIE INSIDE THE HOUSE WHEN THERE IS A BAD STORM.
