Kericho

Number 10 was vacant so I am back in occupancy. Its nice to be some familiar, little electricity, not hot water, although the room seems to have been re-painted The staff recognised me, and welcomed me back. The journey from Nairobi took 6 hours – and after Saturday long trip, I felt exhausted by the time I arrived. We had a left a bit late, as I had forgotten to switch my alarm to Kenyan time and so when I woke up at 7am, thinking I had an hour to get ready, I didn’t as it was 8am On route we saw a fatal accident, several Japanese tourists were believed dead, but as its Kenya, everyone stops to look, have a wandered around, speak to everyone else, and caused chaos. I stayed in the vehicle out of the way, I have seen enough dead bodies in my time, and most look the same – dead!

I had fish fingers for tea last night, and then watched a James Bond movie on my dvd player. I had had a snooze in the afternoon – so wasn’t too tired. I was up at 0645 this morning and had scrambled egg for breakfast, and then waited for the taxi to the college. It was on time – and we arrived at the college in good time. I was straight into teaching about the prophets, and spoke all morning, and it was quite tiring. They have done three assignments for me, when I only set two, the college gave them one I had sent for the last trip as wel! So now I have to mark them al. I have 18 students, and we did quite well today.

I came into town to get some photocopying done, but found the electricity was off – so just left them and I will pick them up tomorrow, you will know if it is back as you will be reading this! Whilst I was waiting for the electricity to come back I went to the cafĂ©, asked for tea, and got coffee – so not having a good day!
