| Goats enjoying the grass in Kosti |
During the last couple of days, a lot of work has been done in de garden area of the new office. One particular challenging piece of work was the establishment of a concrete floor. After three days of efforts, the result looked really nice and everyone was very excited about it. But,...here in Sudan, there is always this unexpected 'surprise factor' that you have to take into account. When Frank and I came downstairs in the evening to get a bit of fresh air and of course to look at the wonderful new floor, we saw the night guard on his knees bending over the concrete floor. When we looked closer we saw that he was putting some cement in the plentiful (!) small holes in the still wet floor. "What happened?", we asked him. "Some goats came in", he answered while lifting his shoulders and trying to recover the floor injuries. If someone would have asked me beforehand what could go 'wrong' with the concrete floor, I think I would have never taken this goat scenario into account. Let's just assume that they wanted to leave their signature of this special floor of fame. And they surely did!
