mikes day 11!
Fri 28th October - 6.15pm by Mike Jones
another absolutely fantastic day! friday is when the school has their p.p.i which is basically an assembely. now whenether the word assembeley is metioned in england you will get a chorus of moans and sigh's, but if they were to have the same assembelys that they have over here than you would hear a completely different reaction. its impossible to describe exactly how you feel as an entire school sing there heart out with such entusiasm, its kinda like when your standing infront of a huge speaker at a concert and you feel every word throughout you body and you cant help but join in. also the whole experiance is amplified by the schools caretaker mama nora, who at 48 ( old in kenya ) i one of the inspirational women i have ever met. as she was telling me and billy, she is thankfull to god because she is not like evryone else who is her age, and she is still able to dance and sing despite her age. anyways the rest of the day went pretty usual witht the exception of a football game taking place at the end of the day between the school were at anbd another local school. were still not ertain as to the result as we left early, but looking at out \r teams performance it looked pretty promasing. later on we made our final trip to the beach where i made some final purchases. anyways i wont be able to speak to you tomorow as were on SAFARIIIIIIIII!! which im very excited about.
speak soon xx

Best blog yet mike - sounds like a very special assembly (and a long way from what I remember of school assembly "morning has broken, like the first morning..." followed by a catalogue of dull school notices). I need to be quick today because I desperately need to beat grandma. Btw - one of the other boys mentioned your craft lesson - assume this was the paper spiders? Hope it went well - so pleased your getting such a valuable experience - have a great time on safari hope the big animals show up. - love dad
