so...continued!!!

so....where was i?!......
oh yeah...
after much commotion and lots of flailing of heads 2 find the damn thing (our headtorches were all attached to our heads!) we found it on the inside of the curtain so tessa went outsided and shone her torch through the window...then...from OUTSIDE she said..."err...guys...i think we need to come up with a plan"!!! well...DUH! her plan was that one of us put our hand underneath the curtain and catch him (christ!) but obviously..that was never EVER gonna happen! so we got a tupperware box and caught him in that...me and cat (the heroes!!) were carrying him outside and almost walked right into this masai man who was quite obviously thinking "crazy mzungos" so...in the midst of all this stres and commotion...cat stopped to have a conversation with him!! WOT?! "jambo!! habari?!" (hello...howr u?!) crazy girl! we let him go then RAN back into the house!
literally about two minutes later mnaz turned up (who was originally harassin me but has now declared his undying love for felicity!!) (or felista as she keeps telling people cos they cant pronounce felicity!!!) we sat down to normality and cat said she could hear this dripping noise...we opened the door to discover that our toilet had leaked ALL over the place!! the cistern had decided to start filling itself up again but just not stopping!! we had to go next door and get Mr Msovu who came round and told us that the handle was broken (bollocks!) so he turned the tap off outside and said he'd call the plumber (again) in the morning! the plumber came the next day and told us the valve thingymbob thing was broke so we had to get that fixed!! that bloody toilet is more hassle than its worth...!! id much rather have a longdrop....we have to get water from the river everyday to fill that thing up so we can flush it!!!
Me and cat were just wandering up our little vumby (dusty) road the other day and walked into this old man who started enthusiastically shaking our hands...he asked us something in swahili, luckily, cat, being the boffy one (love u darlin!!) knew wot he said and replied with my name is catherine (in swahili...cant be arsed writing it!) then i did the same and he was dead impressed!! then he said that he was the village chairman!!! think we're having a government official week!!!
by the way....before i continue....everything is the other day cos i cant remember wot day it is today never mind wot day things happened on!!!
anyway....walking up the road again with the girls and saw a he/she bull cow that appeared to have udders and man bits!!! that had obviously escaped the butchers or the slaughter house thing...it had lines all over it!! :S ewwww!! anyway... this guy was chasin it up the road we kept having to run every now n then when it came our way!!! only in africa....!!!
the plumber seems to have warmed to us a lot...perhaps its becuase hes been round so much in the last two weeks but hes invited us all around to our house for tea!!!
i had a really shit lesson yesterday...the whole class (3A, obviously) were just being horrible!!! got really mad with them but couldnt do anything!! again im going to stress how CRAP mama Philis is!!
Also....i think i need to stress how crap my cooking is!!! I did make egg fried rice successfully!! (yes ma and pa...all by myself!!!) but i made, like, WELL too much rice!! hehe! we had to have rice pancakes (random!! but surprisingly nice!!) AND rice pudding twice and we've still got some left over!!! oops!!!
Also...just want to say...Mama Kavishe is AMAZING! yesterday when i was feeling really poo...she got my phone number and sent me a msg saying "please smile alice, i am not happy if you are not. i love you!" Aww bless her!!! then she sent a kid to the house with a little note saying please come and see me so i can make u smile!! awwww!!!
Chai time....which has become a highlight of the day is now highly amusing...ellens teacher (who calls me ellen and ellen alice!!) is cool...today she was asking me about religion and was soooo shocked to hear that i dont follow one!! oops maybe not the best thing to say...ah well, im not pretending! then she was asking if i was engaged (cos i wear a ring on my engagement finger...saves a lot of hassle in the street and at night) but i said no...she wanted to try one on so i passed her the one off my engagement finger and she kept saying no, no thats your boyfriends ring so i took the ring off that jonny gave me and said...no...thats my boyfriends ring!!! heehee! she asked how old he was so i told her and she was horrified! "too old too old" she kept saying...then she says she going to set me up with her son called peter whos 20.. she actually said "he's very black...do u like black men?!" i couldnt believe it!!! i didnt know wot 2 say but she then put the finger back on my engagement finger and asked me to marry her son!!!
