the rain started at 11 last night
and by this morning it was falling heavily. I got up at 7.10 am and made a cup of tea and took out a cup of coffee - white, two sugars - and a piece of toast - with Fruits of the Forest jam - to the compound night security guard Joseph.
Yesterday I paid my haus meri K40 for her two days work this week. I am no longer allowed to invite the guards inside so last night I turned on the TV and faced it to the window and opened the curtains so the guard could see the St George and Canterbury match on EMTV .
So what is going to happen to Keela my haus meri when her other wait man employer and I leave? Why should it concern me? There has always been work for her? If it were that easy, why would she be asking me if I might know if the next person and if he would be employing a haus meri? She is clearly anxious.
As a volunteer I am not paid ex-pat wages but I am still better off than many nationals. I have wontoks back in Australia but I chose to forsake helping them in order to come here to try to help someone else. My wontoks are self-sufficient and are not dependent on me except for sharing wontok love and affection.
