I taught about prepositions today. Apparently there are more than 124 prepositions in the English language. Who knew?
In the afternoon I went to the airport to buy some plane tickets. I’m going on holiday! This being the world wide web, I can't tell you where, but trust me, its flipping amazing. Don't worry, when I get back I'll be quick to rub it in, but until then you'll just have to wait. Or ask Borinne. But rest assured, you can be very jealous.
And I took the opportunity to have some banana bread while at the airport. Bourbon does the best banana bread, maybe in the world. It's an impressive boast for such a small country in sub Saharan Africa, but I have to give credit where it's due.
Then I went to the post office to see if my birthday post had arrived yet. And it had! Best birthday ever! Thank you Aunty Julia for my letter – Granddad, I hope you're feeling better now. Cat sent me Milka, an 'I love Vienna' notebook and a chocolate strudel – a real one. I’m impressed by her commitment to the cause. And Emma sent me a box, I’m guessing from Paperchase, full of Dairy Milks and Crunchies, a chocolate reindeer, Milka, and Lindt. Impressive. I literally danced round the room when I opened them. So thank you Cat and Emma – you're the best!
You see pictures of people sitting in Africa, covered in flies, with distended bellies. Well now the flies are on me, and my belly is distended, but from chocolate not malnutrition!

In the afternoon I went back to Shokolat for another tropical smoothie. Instead of adding yoghurt, they use coconut – yummy. And the glass is like a bucket, so it's easily 3 of your 5 a day. I didn't stay long because their internet wasn't working. I found out last week that they have free wifi, so it's the perfect place to blog. Blogging is a time consuming and expensive affair. Each blog takes about an hour and a half to produce, with every photo taking between ten and forty minutes to upload. And I pay for the internet by the minute. But I enjoy it. I think it's a good way to offload and reflect on my experiences in the week.
yay you got presents! Enhoy your holiday....cannot wait to hear where you are going, but rest assured I am very jealous.
