Who turned up the heating?

January and February are the hottest, driest months in Uganda. Great, when all you have to do is lie by the pool and read a book; not so great when you have to teach twenty energetic little people.  The temperature in my classroom has regularly been hitting over the 30 degree mark and we are all wilting. All I can think about all day is the moment when I can dive into the pool at 4.15pm and lower my body temperature. And we wonder why the kids find it hard to concentrate ...
On the other hand, I should be careful what I wish for. In just over a week, I will be wearing multiple layers and shivering on the side of Mount Kilimanjaro. It's not such a bad thought right now!
The best spot in school!
