Simple Pleasures

Well the weekend has come and gone. Saturday we caught the bus into town to do a little shopping. Everyone looks at the white people and the children are so friendly - they"ll come and get a seat as near to you as possible and then ask how you are and where do you live and can they have your phone number.

It was either cooler at the weekend or I"m getting acclimatised and I can"t believe how much I sleep. Everyone in the house is in bed by 9.30 and then we"re up around 6 but that's still a lot of hours.

Saturday evening I helped Ranjani make some rotis - Flour salt water and coconut then you cook them on a banana leaf on a griddle - they are really good.

Sunday saw the simple pleasures in life. I did my washing on the stone in the garden, ironing, tidied my room a little and then in the afternoon we walked the mile to the Hotel Aralyia. It was so nice to be cool for a few hours in the pool. Best of all - we had tea (with milk!!!)and cake - it made my day.

Today have been back at the school and orphanage and I think were going to have an ice cream on the way home.

I hope you had a great birthday Dave and Mam I hope you had a good afternoon with Dave Linda Gavin and Annie

Love you. Sue xx
