woah...LOADS to say!!

Ok...first thing's first, the children's centre...the CUTEST children alive i think!! it's a centre for orphans and children who are severely disabled or have had accidents...they live there and are schooled there for free but they do have children coming from their homes to the shchool so that the children aren't totally cut away. it's owned by a young boy's parents (about early 20's id say), we havnt met his parents yet but david is there all the time. we visited it first a couple of weeks ago now, our first visit we were told that they were doing a competition against another childrens centre... a sort of drama/singing thing and they wanted us to teach them a song! We came up with the animal fair ("went to the animal fair, the birds and the beasts were there, the big baboon by the light of the moon was combing his auburn hair, the monkey fell out of his bunk, and slid down the elephant's trunk, the elephant sneezed and lands on his knees, but what became of the monkey monkey monkey monkey monkey etc..." For those who didnt know the song!!) and from the tiny ant ("from the tiny ant, to the elephant, from the monkey to the chimpanzee, from the great white shark, to the singing lark, care for them it's up to me, care for them it's up to me, care for them it's up to me, no one else will care for them it's up, it's up too meeee!!" some of its repeated but i cant be bothered telling u exactly how it goess...like i said, for those who went to LPC, you'll know exactly what im on about!!) they decided on the tiny ant, although they liked the repeatin monkey bit in the animal fair, thats the only bit they could learn..it was too fast!! Apparantly though, they won!! They performed it 4 us last week...awwww!! I want 2 bring them all home!!
we've been seing loads of the rugby boys as of late...they're all so accomodating...they'v taken it upon themselves 2 just turn up at the house, drag us all out of bed at about 10ish (at the weekends!!) and take us swimming to TGT's (the place i mentioned in my last blog!!) its great...full luxury!!
Last wednesday we went 2 masai camp 4 alice's birthday (other alice!!)...had a great night, played lots of pool!! im getting better!! Thursday we got a new housemate!!! She wasn't enjoying it at her lst school, she works in a special needs schoo lat home so it made sense for her to be at the only school with a special need unit! she loves it now and is fitting it well with the group..i hope!! We we're all a bit concerned that it might disrupt our clickiness!! (selfish, maybe a little but we've all gotten so close now we didn't want somebody to come in between us) it seems ok though and we havnt had any complaints about leaving her out, which is good!!
Friday night was a BIG night...flics bday yesterday so we we're celebrating! Geoff and Brad hosted a party at their house with a bbq and lots of alcohol...we made a vodka watermelon...was great!!! thenwent on to colobus where we had a great time and some chip mayai (a chip omelette...WELL nice!!)
Bit rough on saturday...flic was slightly worse for wear...however, no worries cos geoff and bruce turned up at our house to pick us up and take us swimming!!! woop!!

right listen folks...REALLY sorry about this...underestimated how much i had to tell u, i have already been online 4 2 1/2 hours so cant really renew it more!! People are waiting!!

I will tell u the rest either 2moro or thursday...loads of plans 4 the next month and our travelling plans are coming on nicely!!

Love u all, miss u tonz, al xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
