Life is full of surprises!

I think most of you know that whilst I was in England my 2 dogs escaped. Gumersindo upstairs left the gate open and they shot out - most likely looking for me! Anyway, Jaime and seemingly half of Sigua spent the next 2 days searching all day for them. But not to be found. This was just after Christmas, nearly 2 months ago! 2 nice looking black labradors would have been taken off the streets straight away so I'm guessing someone has them!

Anyway, today is the 14th year since mum died. I've been wishing I were at home with the family all day and feeling a long way away from family and friends. Suddenly G knocked on my door and he had a puppy for me! He had bought it to replace the dogs! How sweet. It is gorgeous, a German Shepherd cross. About 2 months and v cute. Her name is Sheba cos that was the name of the family dog we had when I was growing up. Will remind me a bit of mum. Now I haven't puppy proofed my house or garden so have no idea what to do with the thing - but it's cute!! Very thoughtful of him too. She is one of 9 puppies in her litter and so is very thin and you can feel her ribs but she'll fill out soon enough!

Ok.....so I wrote all that last night and then the internet crashed!! Last night this dog cried sooooo loudly the ENTIRE night. In the end I had her cage in my bedroom so she had company. Tonight, she will be like every other Honduran dog...outside!! This dog can cry!! When I go tback from football today my neighbours little boy (who had helped searched for Jezabel and Delilah) came out to tell me my dog was crying! The whole neighbourhood can hear it! Let's hope that stops soon enough!

I'm back!!!

OK, I'v not fallen off the face of the earth! Soooo sorry I haven't been writing this! I went home for Christmas and have been back in Honduras a month now. With Vacation Bible School up in the mountains, catching up with friends etc it was good to be back!
Cool started again this week. Apart from ridiculously early starts (I am not designed to wake up at 5,30am! it is good to be back at work again)
I promise I will start updating this properly from now on!! Please keep reading...
