Chicks

Three chicks had turned up in the dove's nest today. They were really tiny and were constantly being fed by the dove. We would have had a normal Friday, if it hadn't been for a few phone calls and a visit, which turned the day from a maintenance day to a preparation day. At dusk there was a man at our gate, who wanted to volunteer to become the Arbaki commander in his village, if there was to be any Arbaki in Samangan. He was presently the head of a village clinic. I thanked him for showing interest and told him to go talk with the ANP.
