Maddison was out of bed before her parents again today! She must have made it into the living room by 8 am to wait for us, of course she kept herself busy on her laptop while she did. When we finally arose (9am) we carried on with our usual home tasks . . . . Sewing Geoff’s Christmas present, playing computer games and, unusual for her, playing the clarinet.
At 11:30 we all made tracks to the church to help pack 125 bags for the Sudanese refugees that live in Cairo. I was surprised by the number of people there, mostly men. Amy tried to send the bags in taxis to their destination but the taxi men wanted 1 LE per bag to take them so in the end the church people used their own cars to take them.
It took Maddy and I an hour or so to get over being so hot which included a shower, then back to the usual. . . .
The man came for the electricity today it was 270 LE so £27, which is quite a lot as we have been using the air con this month, Maddison tends to sleep with it on. It will probably rise to around 400 LE for August and September as even I am using the air con at night at the moment. I keep waking up thinking I’m being cooked!
(Hope you’re enjoying this Lynn, no sign of the ants today, but we went and got some spray just in case, it was mince for tea and we watched a film this afternoon called The Losers that was quite entertaining)
Yes thank you Pam, I am enjoying it very much!! Such an extremely different life to NZ...no ants today, how wonderful! Great to see Maddy playing the clarinet, keep it up.
