Just another manic Friday

Dear blog readers,

Sorry for the long silence (that goes especially to you, mum!). Emma and I moved into the "lodge" on Monday, a somewhat-larger-than-a-cottage space on the grounds of Sean's church (where we're helping with the youthwork), which is home-ly enough but unfortunately internet free. So I'm afraid I wont be able to blog (or reply to emails...mum...) all too often.

Emma and I met the noonoos (the wee ones at Stella Pre-Primary school) on Tuesday. Noonoo is Zulu for "insect", and I promise that's meant in the most endearing way possible! There are around 70 of them, ranging from miniature wide-eyed 3 year olds to boisterous 6 year olds. At first you're little more than a jungle gym, and you end up walking around the playground with many children hanging on you, and atleast two pairs of hands in your hair. We've now gotten to the stage when we know them on an individual basis, which is really encouraging. We leave the place exhausted but invigorated, I can't explain the combination but it just happens.

But now I'm off to watch rugby (!), what madness...

Love,

Heidi
