Kay 7

Our house is known as Kay set (house 7) and we are very privileged to live in one of the nicest houses on campus. Denise went back to the states today so it is now just the four of us here. Edit, is our wonderful housekeeper who is an excellent cook. She is here during the week to prepare meals and keep the house tidy. Duval, our Gardner, is here for a few hours weekday mornings to tend to the yard and an endless quest to keep the goats at bay! We have a rotating guard staff who watch the property as well so its a pretty busy place. We have a resident cat Dino who is a bit of a beggar and generally a pain but keeps our pests at bay. The house has it's quirks, like running out of propane for the stove while trying to cook dinner tonight... We are lucky to have electricity by generator all the time. Water is on from 6-7am, 12-1 and 6-7pm. We get by in the in-between with buckets for what we need which really isn't much. Always amazing to realize how easy it is to waste! We use hospital water which is slightly chlorinated and then terra cotta filtered for drinking. It's a wonderfully funny place and I am lucky to share it with a bunch of wonderful people.
