up to date...eventually!!!

OK, im really sorry to everybody who actually checks this site regularly, i am so poo and get caught up on websites like this: http://n.ethz.ch/student/mkos/pinguin.swf and chatting on msn (mostly to people who i saw yesterday or who are sat about 3 computers down from me) I cant help it and then remember that i havnt updated my blogsite. So now i have got round to it, I am almost copying Cat's blog becuase, obviously, most of the things that happen to her, happen to me too! So if you have read Cat's blog, you dont really need to read this!

Just quickly...we recently waitressed/shootered at the rugby ball, where the theme was the letter 'P'. As Cat said we were all dressed as policewomen/policemen (martyn and dave!)...i was officer walice (bit of a long story but, as there is two alice's with changing worlds, im walice for alice w and other alice is malice for alice m!) i was put on bar duty for a while but we all kinda swopped round and took it turns so i had the syringes for a bit (about 20 plastic syringes on a belt filled up with red zappa, blue zappa, or springbock) and i was also in charge of my very own water pistsol which was filled up with sprinkbock! It was a brilliant night...some of the costumes were amazing!! Lots of priests, prostitutes (they were mostly guys!) and pirates.

As Cat said, we have a new edition to the 'sekei massive' as ellen calls it; Rosie. She moved from Enaboiushu which is our neigbouring school, she wasnt really doing much at the school and felt she would enjoy herself more with us. Seems we are a very wanted group!! She stays in Ellen's room which was with Ellen, but Ellen has now gone off to Zanzibar with Pat (her boyfriend), no worries though, she'll be back in two weeks for a few more weeks.Charlotte, however, has gone! Gone gone gone!! She's in Zanizbar at the moment with her boyfriend (possibly fiance by the time they get home??? who knows!!) and then they are flying home together on the 28th May
: ( two down 5 more to go! It's funny to think that Adele is at home. She txt the other day...Delly, if ur reading this...we miss you! Come back!

Me and Cat are now working on these after school English sessions, three times a week where we are currently reading Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl with them.

I had a bit of a fright last week when i was in absolute agony and cat and rosie had to take me to AAR (the doctors/hospital we were recommended). Apparantly i had a kidney infection...didnt know they hurt when u breathed! The AAR is also renowned for not being very reliable, but, the medication they gave me worked and surely thats all that matters?! So here i am, all better now!!

Friday night we went out to Masai camp for Natasha's birthday and to say bye to the AV volunteers, first time i'd been anywhere all week and my bloody phone got stolen!! So...a little plea to everybody, if i had your phone number previously, can you email me your phone numbers with your names please?! TA!! : )

Anyhoo, best be off, trying to shut the patisserie around me!! : S Sun is back thank god, with any luck, that was the last of the rain!!

Love u all tonz and tonz and tonz,
