Still no car in sight.  Guy from Avis came and gave us a quote.  Now we wait for approval from the powers that be.  I think I'm going slowly nuts sitting in this apartment all day when there are places to go and people to meet but after hearing the horror stories of abductions, I suppose I'll opt for insanity.

Visited the brand new Shoprite yesterday and shopped till we dropped.  I never thought I'd shop at a Shoprite again but that's why never say never right? They had most of the things I needed but I couldn't find sundried tomatoes anywhere.  I asked for some lamb and they chopped up that lamb just any which way.  I'm not sure it is indeed lamb, it might be goat.  Anyway we're having Lamb Rogan Josh for supper. I wonder what I'll get if I should ask for lamb chops. 

After carrying it all up two flights of stairs and unpacking, it was nearly time for mass.  This time we went to Holy Trinity, which is a stone throw away from our apartments.  The trip still cost us NGN4000, there and back.  At least our driver also got a chance to go to mass.  We'd just had communion when there was a power failure, which is a common thing here, and had to wait about 5 or 10 minutes for the generators to kick in.

They hadn't done an inventory of our apartment yet and I mentioned that most of the crockery was chipped.  I got a brand new set right away. That's the only good thing I can think of for today.  It doesn't help that hubby heard that they might want to keep him here longer.
