As we arrived at the station I realised I had forgotten my glasses. Mum had to rush home to get them before the train due to carry me to London and, more importantly, to my first ever “date” with Chris, departed.

This week we had an ‘Ethiopian Day’. This involved dressing in traditional dress, and learning an Ethiopian playground game. A variation on hop scotch is played here called ‘Senoe, Macsenoe’ (Monday, Tuesday). The game is based on the days of the week, but not Sunday – as that was the day God rested during creation.
