A funny thing happened on the way to the office...
Well, you could almost have scripted it I guess. News of the developments for a place of our own spread and when I (Wendy) arrived in Birtamod a few days ago, something was obviously afoot. One of our rooms was filled with someone else's junk and boxes were piled up everywhere. We had been asked to move. Again.There's a lot to be done, learnt, finalised, organised and consolidated and moving officed wasn't meant to be on the agenda but there you go. Some judicious scouting around, and a sympathetic gentleman next door means that we can move into his back rooms as soon as he moves upstairs. No pressure. We try to only ask once each day how things are going. Our current landlord wanted us out days ago and we hope to move on Sunday and Monday. Yesterday was an auspicious day for people moving. That's us for sure! So we put a red plastic chair in the hallway of the new place to make the most of it.That new place just can't be built soon enough really!
Not content with kick-starting our new home, Ron Lehocky sent me a box of delights to bring over and in this photo you can see Sita and Pramila working with his amalgam filler. We can see whay he adores this tool. what a winner! Thank you Ron-and for the glitter, the tiny glass beads (knew they'd love them!), the books and magazines, the barettes and all the other wonderful goodies. Lee Ann Armstrong also sent over two of her Simple Slicers and we had a quick look at them as well. We love all our slicers! Because of the variety of the work we do, we are very grateful for both of the types of slicers that have been donated to us.As soon as we've moved, it's back to business. We've had visits from one of the ladies who spent a year in Kathmandu with Project Apeiron and she has written her story for us. She looks like a different woman and is so happy with how things have gone. I am sure we will hear more about Lalita. Until then, back to the boxes!
