The girls in the kitchen cooked up a storm today, firstly with Anzac biscuits, and in the afternoon; lovely mini apple pies, some with lattice tops. I was even surprised with a couple of gluten free ones. The girls were all giggles because of a big surprise for me, and very proudly produced the little special diet ones (under Leann's guidance). Some of the girls are here quite early and prepare the lunch time meal for about 30 people, before they begin their classes. Netra (our overseer of the vocational programme and caretaker of our property) organises the meal ,but they do the work. Yesterday's was too hot for me, having a pain in the stomach for the rest of the day, but today, even the Nepalese were having trouble. I opted for a couple of fried eggs. Two girls in the jewellery class became quite ill in the afternoon; one with quite bad vomiting and the other with a very swollen neck (maybe glandular trouble or mumps). Don't think the curry was to blame. Whatever they have, we are all hoping it isn't contagious. They were both taken to hospital, and we hope they are OK. Grahame is still not well, but slightly improved. We have lost one of our interesting locals. The old dog , who has one eye that looks like a ball of raw mince after a street brawl, and affectionately known as "meatball" has passed onto doggy heaven. It seems strange for him not to be in his usual spot. Someone saw his body in the gutter in the Main Street. Apparently, that is the normal practice. It is taken there and collected by the garbage man.
