Today was a rest day. Deborah very kindly decided that breakfast should be at 10 a.m. today after our night time adventures. We all enjoyed the sleep and then had a leisurely morning having showers and sorting out the clothes that we are leaving here into clean and dirty piles; we will wash them on Friday. After a late lunch I was just setting off to the football field with George to watch the primary / secondary football match when we met one of our pupils coming the other way with a twisted ankle. I took her back to the house and bandaged it up with a crepe bandage but she was pining to watch the match so I lent her my walking boot and she went down to the field happily with promises to be very careful! This left me confined to the house but I was quite happy chatting to Bush and Deborah and Suzan - I didn't even have time to read my book! Suzan wrote me a lovely letter saying that she will miss me.
Deborah asked me how to make bread and butter pudding, but of course it has to go into the oven and Deborah doesn't have one. She hopes to get one when they have electricity installed - at the moment they only have limited solar electricity. It must be such hard work cooking everything on the fire in the hut. Deborah said that especially on a Sunday she has to get up very early to prepare dinner before the six hour service church service, because if she started preparing it after the service they would eat unfeasibly late.
We had dinner and a pleasant evening of chat and laughter. What a nice group of young people our pupils are.
