Hey again, has been a bit of a while since i did my last one i know but couldnt really be bothered! Been too busy! Anyways, yeah this last week or so i have somehow managed to get a cold! At first i thought i had malaria but after realising that was stupid i accepted that it must have been having the fan on me for the nights. Bad cough and a sore throat along with a slight runny nose were annoying for a couple of days but luckily they have now gone! However, i have managed to pick up other injuries this last week! Decided that i would train with the boys last week and become a player but after having to stop around half hour in after my first session because i couldnt keep up i knew it wasnt going to be easy. Managed to get through 2 whole sessions though the next few days before my knee that i thought was better finally gave in, could hardly walk for the last few days. Still was fun being a player for a little while.
The whether has been a bit strange the last few weeks. At the start it carried on being hot and dry but then in the latter end of the week and some of this week has been a bit rainy in the afternoons and evenings. Last Monday though i had a familiar type of evening, more like what im used to at home. There was a footie match on TV (The Tottenham v Aston Villa one if your curious) so me and Patrick decided we would go out and have a few drinks before getting some takeaway pizzas and heading home to watch the football! Was a cracking night but did remind me a bit of our lads nites back home.
Also the post that i had got mum to send out on the 1st of this month finally arrived a mere 26 days later! That was after mum was told by the guy in the post office it would take 5 days! Ha! I used the camera's and my video camera alot yesturday as we went on a trip to "Boti Falls" (Pronounced 'beauti') which took us through some beautiful countryside to the north and looked more like the Africa i had expected. Was a really good trip with a guy lending us some swimmng stuff to go into the water by the waterfall and swim in it! (That was even though as we went down there was sign after sign saying "Strictly no swiming!")
I am now coming to my last week in Ghana, already makes me upset whenever i think about having to leave! Have already paid my last visit to Seths school in a town around an hours drive away. On my last day i got to judge the cooking done by the cookery students and choose a winning dish. I then had the winning meal for lunch! Ha. Looks like i landed on my feet again. So is going to be a very sad and emotional week saying goodbye to everyone and having to see things for the last time. However, there is one woman i am hoping to stay clear of this week! She told me at training last that she wanted some personal training, when i asked her what she meant she came out with sleeping with me! I just laughed and have tried to keep away ever since! Im hoping she's just joking around.
It should also be known that in order to make myself feel better i have already started planning my next trip! Thats even though the phone company has barred my phone as i cant afford to pay them! Ha. Woops. But still ask more if you wana know what trip ive got planned, anyone who wants to come is mor then welcome!
See you all in a week or so... strangly happy to be getting home and yet at the same time sad that im having to leave. Should add that Tetteh (the other coach) had told me that he is not letting me leave and that hes going to tie me up so i miss my flight, so if i dont get back...well you know why!
