Cool and wet today.
Spent all day in Kisumu yesterday since I lost a filling and we had an appointment with our mechanic (for the car, not the teeth!) Found a good dentist. I was fortunate to get her, since right now it's Diwali. There are normally fireworks for the celebration, but they have been banned because of the Somali conflict. There were a few permitted between 7.30 and 9.30 last night. The police have caught one fellow who admits to setting off the grenades in crowded spots in Nairobi and to being a member of Al Shabaab. Security in the city apparently is pretty tight.
But not all yesterday was spent at the dentist. When we arrived a month ago, we took delivery of a (new to us) vehicle. It's four wheel drive, powerful and comfortable. But it has a central locking system that is disastrous in this dusty climate. There are problems with the locks and our mechanic picked up a new mechanism while in Nairobi. He worked on it all day, only to find it didn't work. So we have a cobbled system which means that we can lock up, but he has to get a replacement from Nairobi.
We are also battling the African time table in getting our second apartment ready to welcome a new agent.We are right down to the wire.
