Today has been a fairly relaxing day...definitely what was needed after our climb yesterday! David, however, still got up ready for football at 7am with Wit. They were home though by 10am (2 hours earlier than last week) as not many had turned up and they had had to play every game....they were tired! Also...the losing team had to do 5 press-ups each time and David was regularly on the losing team! They were ready for the pancakes and maple syrup which were served for breakfast....and breakfasts are great over here.
Abi and I had to go the supermarket for a few things, and we were pleased that we managed to do the taxi-bus all on our own. We are getting good at the public transport and know all the names of the stops and pick-up points. This information along with the word “waraj” which means “get off” has made our life easier. It seems a long time ago now that we got lost!
In the afternoon we took Dodi out for chips and ice cream to say “thank you” for all her help translating for us during the holiday bible club. She has been brilliant and has done a fantastic job for someone who is only 13 years old. The ice creams were great although we didn’t all get what we ordered....another “chigga yellum” moment! We also found out that they had given David hazel nut ice cream instead of caramel and we had made every effort to explain about his nut allergy...even Dodi had explained in Amharic!! Not such a “chigga yellum” moment!
The evening was spent making homemade lasagne and garlic bread. Abi and I were a bit heavy handed with the garlic. We used 5 cloves instead of 1 or 2.....let’s hope we don’t stink too much at church tomorrow!
