TAN: A Faulty Whistle and a Good Laugh

More of the same on the work front today. I set to work on new menus for the DVD while the others refine their edits of the various sequences. I am very glad that we are in Mufindi to finish this project. I cannot imagine a nicer place in all of Tanzania. Geoff is taking great care of us. The power is on right after breakfast through to 11 p.m. We are all making good use of every moment.
The highlight of the day comes in the late afternoon with the arrival of Pili and her friends Monica and Lena. They are all decked out and ready for singing in dancing. Gabriel is a little perterbed because he was not impressed with Pili’s voice last go round and does not want to waste his time with more of it. I go off in search of an extension cable to isolate one of the microphones. I come up empty-handed and by the time I get back, they have started.
The ladies perform about seven numbers. Half of them involve a metal whistle which doesn’t seem to function properly. The mis-firing of the whistle sends Monica into hysterical laughing. The first time she breaks out laughing in the middle of the song they are singing. As it deteriorates, we all end laughing. Everyone has a great time and several of the songs might even surpass the favorites from Lazy Lagoon.

Our afternoon’s entertainment out of the way, we all get back to work and emerge again only for dinner. The gentleman babysitting the generator must have fallen asleep, consequently the power finally goes off just after midnight.
