Sab. Nov. 6. Did not funk in as much sleep as I expected to last night and was up at daylight. After breakfast I put my new plants in green and changed drivers. Put my blankets out in the morning sunshine but we had a little rain before lunch time. I have had rather of a lazy day of it: in the afternoon I fixed up my shoes, wrote up some field labels, stood around and watched the Chaplain put up his orchids and we have had some talk with some of the herd men like Shemphah and Lamah about going to the lips of the mountains. We added cucumbers, to the list of our vegetable tables, at lunch time. We had our meal rain in the afternoon and after dinner I sat at my front door and smoked and watched the night come on. This is a wonderfully quiet and restful place.
