OK, so there was this rooster/cockrel which seemed to live outside our house and he didn't just crow, he SCREAMED. Every morning, noon and night, starting early (around 4am). We were joking one day about how we'd like to kill him because he was the mosty irritating thing I've ever known.

I say was cos the funny thing is he's now dead. We ate him for tea 2 nights ago. And he tasted lovely. And our sleep has improved immensely.

We're still in Uroki, teaching away. It's funny how you getr used to things very quickly. Seems like we've been here ages and have taught classes for years.

We're well, been enjoying some walks around the village, and have mastered (finally) the Tanzanian art of greeting people. A tricky business at the best of times.

On Saturday we went to some Waterfalls which were AMAZING and on Sunday we went to a Jubilee at a convent which was amazingly long - almost 5 hours, all in Swahili. Think graduation ceremony but without people you know, in a differenmt language and 3 times as long. However, we got to try Blackcurrant Fanta afterwards for the first time so every cloud has a silver lining.

Off to Arusha on Saturday for a day Safari on Sunday and then to Zanzibar on Monday before we meet the 15 or so others flying out on Monday.

Hope you're all well, see some of you soon!
