Short bursts of insanity keep us sane! [Spike Milligan]
Today there is a very important question which I want to put to you all… Does anyone know where Bethan’s opened, or unopened tin of tuna is? Unfortunately she seems to have mislayed it somewhere between the fridge and her sandwich!
Anyway, I cant’ believe it’s Thursday already. Surely Monday was only yesterday? But what with entertainig kids, feeding lots of homeless men this morning, and experiencing the South African pulling power, life’s been pretty busy really! Yes you heard me right. I and Beth were left with 30 3 to 6 year old kids on Tuesday in a very small room. We even had to resort to singing the Hokey Cokey! It was fun though. They all climbed on us saying we love you teacher. And I have to admit, there are all very cute and I’m really looking to going back there!
Today we helped in the soup kitchen. The helpers there are the most lovely and friendly group of people I have ever met.
And the pulling power… Only joking guys!!
A sad event has occured today though. My favouritist and most comfortable sandals have tragically broken *sniff! I guess that just means a good excuse to buy a new pair!
The weekend will be busy, as Steve Chalke, founder of Oasis UK is coming here tomorrow for a visit. We have a barbecue tomorrow evening, party Saturday, for which we are decorating and cooking snacks, Church on Sunday where he will be speaking, as well as one of his assistants staying with us! Heading home to clean now… And hopefully finish a game of South African monopoly!
One can’t help but think that the lost tuna and the pulling power of the South Africans in the soup kitchen are related. I mean, haven’t we all at some time or another had an enterprising young man sidle up to us to say that he could get lost in our eyes for hours? And hasn’t this same man been drawing our attention so affectively but all the while he is steeling our oh so precious tuna can?
Hi Nicola. Wow, you’ve certainly been packing a lot into your days! Glad to hear you’ve been having fun and doing lots of interesting things and meeting new people. Sounds like you’re having a great time! Will be following your blogs to see what you get upto next! Hope you got my text
Lots of love, Cathy
Hi Nic,
Sorry to hear about the sandals but glad to know you are having such a brilliant time. I know you will enjoy hearing Steve speak – he is an inspiration. Life in England is grey and wet so you are certainly not going to be missing the weather! When you feel homesick remind yourself of what an awesome God we serve and how much he loves everyone that you love, and then some, then go do something active! Bye for now. God bless you and keep you, Lin
And surely you don’t need an excuse to buy a pair of shoes although having your favorite pair break is not good … were they your pink ones? x
Always knew that deep down you wanted to become a teacher!!!! Love you, Anne xxx
