Kathmandu day 2

Remember I said I hadn't been poorly? I spoke too soon. Spent a few hours in the night nursing a sore and aching tummy and had a very quiet morning but by lunchtime I was up to speed again which was a relief.

We then chose some great wool colours for our roll neck jumpers and some fab knitted hats, gloves and socks for a market in York in Feb, so we are asking everyone to have them made and sent by then. It should happen ..... our guys are pretty fast. We then met the country manager for CAN (Community Action Nepal) whose office is only 10 minutes walk from our hotel, then we are seeing him for lunch tomorrow to catch up on how things are. 

Because there's limited electricity every day, the shop lighting is quite dim when it goes dark so we try to do our work in daylight especially if we are picking out fabric colours. So we rushed around buying Thai fishermens trousers before the night fell! Got some great funky stripe fabric that we've not had before too. Dinner with Shap friends then early night.
