I called Sku this morning as I heard nothing from him yesterday about getting the Kombi back. When the choir got a quote from the mechanic he quoted R20,000 (= £1333) R15=£1. So the mechanic is now wanting an extra R3000 (£200). As the mechanic was chosen by the church who have put the Lions share towards the repair Percy has gone to see the pastor today to see what he says. Frankly I am surprised that he managed to repair the Kombi for that price, so not so surprised that he wants more. But it would have been better if he had said this before, as the cost of getting a taxi down to Sitegi and back (not sure of spelling) was about £40. We are quite tight at the moment in the account as all the bills for rent and food come out tomorrow. But I think we could go halves with the church helping out.
Its a beautiful morning this morning I went out early with Ann's brother Peter and his boys Eric and Pete we did about 25mile around the south Birmingham countryside it was really beautiful, we don't seem to get that many opportunities when the weather is so nice. I will sleep this afternoon.
