New Roof and Sports Fields

Hi there! As I remember, these were both requested topics. Thanks! First, the new roof (or lack thereof)
The tarp on the left is my living room and the tarp in the middle is my bedroom window. The jutted out portion over to the right is the porch of another apartment. They are extending the building up before they add the new roof (not sure why?!?!) but it looks like progress is being made in any case. 

Next, the covered basketball court: (Entrance to the pool is that building in the far right, volleyball in foreground)

And the soccer field, they say it is very level for Kinshasa and one of the nicest ones around. Everything is green now in the rainy season but when we arrived this was quite brown. There is another goal to make a long field and then other goals to the left and right to make shorter half fields.

Lastly, to the surprise of some of you I suppose, Davy has, for the first time in his life, become an outdoor cat. It just wasn't worth fighting with him: It seemed sad to spend the money to have him all the way over here and unhappy. There are only like 10 cars on campus and the roads are so bumpy they can't speed. He has been so happy outdoors. This morning he was lounging:
And I could not get over how green his eyes looked with all that green scenery! Life is tough for a cat in Congo! (NOT!)
