Woah, didn't see you there. How you all doing?
The last couple of days have been hectic. Lets start with Friday night. Friday night was burns night, which meant scottish reeling (of course). This took place in the club, and for some bizarre reason, Lelia (a teacher) had the impression I knew all the dances, and what to do. How wrong she was. It was a great night, and two other gaps from a primary school near nakuru came along. They were both scottish, and in classic scottish style, got absolutely trollied..deary me. And as this is of a PG content, I will refrain from mention what happened to one of them....more than chunder. Lovely chaps though.
Then to Saturday. After a long day doing activities and games, I was asked to go camping with the year 4s down in the Forestry. Here, we played loads of outdoor gaems, like German Spotlight and 40/40in. The BBQs here are incredible and include steak and amazing garlic bread (no idea how they do it). Following the BBQ, we told "scary" stories around the camp fire, some of which were rather twisted for 9 year olds! Probably the bestr bit was when the kids went off to sleep, and some other teacher came down and we drank around the fire with some tunes. The gang included Paddy, Jimbo, Super, Natasha, Vicky and her friend, and Katie Aung. What a team.
Sunday was just as eventful, with me having to wake up early (hanging), and hop on the bus to Greensteds for swimming training. I thought I was asked to come out of irony, as I myself am appalling at swimming! Nonetheless, I went along and shouted my lungs out. Sadly no records were broken, but it was a good session. Greensteds in a school 40 mins from Pembroke, and has a 25m pool with 6 lanes, whereas pembroke only has a 20m pool with 4 lanes. Thats why we went there for training... We got back for lunch, and after lunch, I went for a walk up sundowner rock with the kids for the afternoon activities. This was surprisingly tiring in the heat, especially when you're carrying 20 glass bottles of soda on your back. However, it was a lovely walk with Tills, Rachael, Fred and Billy. In the evening, Jack Chat decided to take George, James and myself to a restaurant in Gilgil called Frecies. Here, I had a lovely steak and chips, with a soda on the side. This was especially nice, as supper at school was Pembroke pasta (leftovers from the previous week). It was also a great opportunity to get a feeling of Gilgil in the evening.
Nothing exciting happened of Monday, which was a bit of a null day to be honest. However, last night we decided to head out to gilgil yet again and go for some njama choma (meat). We went for 2kg of goat, and 2kg of beef. It was such a cool place, where they cut up your meat on your table, and you pick chuncks of meat off the chopping board, with a side order of chips. It was extremely chewy, and juicy. The amazing thing about njama choma is the price attacted to it. our whole bill came to 350 shillings each (about 2.75 in the UK), and this is for a meal with chips, and a drink. Not bad hey? This is why we're hoping to head back there tonight as it wwill be the last time George can have it, as he's leaving Kenya in 2 weeks (sad face).
We played Greensteds and Hillcrest in a traingular tournament, and easily won, of course.
Only two days till half term and the coast!
