It seems such a long time since I updated anyone with tales of our adventures in Egypt, mainly because we haven’t done very much since Richard left! Over the last 2 weeks Geoff aged another year. we were a little stuck for presents for him so Maddison chose a cookbook of chicken recipes and I bought him some football socks (even though he doesn’t play here yet) and some stamps! He also had his own ice cream cake which Maddy and I helped him eat.
The rest of my time seems to have been caught up with work. I attended a training course on Saturday 6th November at the British Council looking at feedback from this years A Level exams and one of the teachers there was looking for a psychology teacher! I gave him Geoff’s number and he phoned the same day, as soon as he got back from the course. Geoff went to the school for a general chat and showed the guy some stuff about distance learning but nothing else has come of it yet.
This week was an Eid, where the Muslims remember Abraham sacrificing Ishmael (not Isaac as the bible tells us). School shuts for the week and a lot of people go away and lots of the shops shut too. There were small flocks of sheep on the streets ready to be sacrificed and we had a cow living in the garage Monday night ready to be slaughtered Tuesday. As places were shut we did nothing special, I did a lot of school work and Thursday morning went for coffee with Geoff at Cafe Greco where we had arranged to meet Liz and Brian who run my ‘life group’.
No prizes for guessing which one is which! Over Brian’s right shoulder is a cat delving into the rubbish. The cat kept coming over to try and sit on our knees but we rejected it politely.
