Tuesday

Had a great day in school today. Ramiya who has been absent so her mum told me for 20 days... I think she had been counting!!! bounced back into class like the wee ball of fire she is. What was really nice to see too though, was how much Anand had come on in her absence and to see him grabbing toys back from her and handing her objects during the game. I have had these two for 4 months and it's so nice to see real progress. The two mums were glad to see each other too.

I got the copies back of the school pics today which are great! My versions are below.

these three are those I have been closest too in school I think, Jasmine, Ida and Methi (who is the gorgeous slim mother of Janaksha, Mike!) We have had such a lot of fun.
At the end of the day, three of the staff kids came in, it was the birthday of one of the boy's, so they had provided paysam pudding as an afternoon treat for the Bishop Sargent kids. Here he is with his brother and sister looking incredibly proud in his birthday new clothes.

The evening was spent as many seem to be just now, playing catch up! I had to pick up more sand bags for physio, have some pics printed, oh and eat! I keep forgetting but that doesn't seem to make much impression on my waistline!
Tomorrow I won't be in school as I am going with Nancy and the Bishop's Chaplain up into the Ghats to a tea and rubber plantation. I asked the Bishop ages ago if it would be possible as I have never seen a tea plantation and he arranged things for me. I'm really looking forward to that, 4,500 feet up!
