Grrrrr
I dont like power cuts, i had a lovely long blog for you all and it has now disappeared and i dont have time to recreate before we go out for PIZZA!!!!!!!!
We had a massssssivve storm last night, when we went to bed(quite early absolutely shattered) we could just see lots of lightning but at quarter past 11 it broke over the top f us, the sky was lit up constantly, it was so bright i could see flashes with shut eyes an eye mask on and facing away from the window, and the thunder was so loud that our windows were rattling! But it has cleared the air a bit, so t is now slightly easier to breathe.
We had a really long(over four hours) joint service yesterday, Emmas first. We were let of doing the dance presentation though as we didnt know the songs, although it turned out we actually did, so we sang along anyway. Then we spent the afternoion at tim and Beths learning loads of stuff about Mozambique Vaz and Polygamy. they have been here since 1995 so know kloads of really interesting stuff, as a future anthropology student i loved it!
Saturday night was Marlemes 14th brithday poarty, the girls and rosa had spenmt forever cooking(i helped make biscuits) and Rosa hgad bout a huge and very extravagant cake, pik white and glittery icing. There was sooo much food, and just our famiy, Euridice's two brothers and us GAT girls to eat it. We had fun listening to cheesy old music and watching novellas with the sound off. One classic moment listenign to 'how do i live without you' which fitted rerally well with the action on the TV, I dont think the family understood why the four white girls were rolling around in Hysterics. We also listened to Enrique Iglesias (Marlenes favourite) and played mUsical chairs. So now we know all about how to party Mozambican style!
Sophie and I are actually getting somewhere with our travel plans. We have booked hostels and everything, and a day trip to thge Bazaruto islands inc snorkelling. Think that we might tyr and visit the Amos project while we are in durban as well. I have read Tom Hewitts book since being here and it sounds amazing stuff!
So off to feed rumbly stomach now
