Hi everyone..hope you're all well. It's Monday, my day off again. Today's been really fun so far. Krissy and I ran the famous cross country track again today. People who run often say that it gets easier the more you do it. But, in my experience although this is partly true it still canes like anything every time!! So, it was especially hard today, I think maybe because I was ill the last couple of days and did little more than sleeping with another tummy bug. I'm glad these things seem to have passed for me relatively quickly though and I haven't been seriously ill at all in my time here. Plus, it is really great that I know I can ask any of the IGs to cover for me in these times. Later on today we went go-carting. This is a pretty huge thing for me. Many of you will know I'm pretty scared of big scary things I have to control myself, like cars -especially ones that go fast! But I thought it would be good for me maybe to start overcoming another fear -I might have to learn to drive one day after all! So Bethany persuaded me and we got in one together. The first 3 laps I spent screaming "We're gonna die!", but when we switched seats and I was in the driver's seat it wasn't so scary, but then I was probably going a lot slower!! After this we were sitting on the grass in a kind of fairground setting and there was some Indian music on. In the family next to us a teenage boy got up and started dancing while his family were clapping. We joined in with this as he was really good. I think the family must have noticed I was praticularly enjoying it and got me to come up and dance with him! I was literally pulled up from my seat and then before I knew it there were loads of people clapping and cheering. It was pretty embarassing as I only know a couple of Indian dance moves! Little things like that make India what it is for me now though, so welcoming and friendly and not afraid to be fun-loving in small innocent ways like that! Look forward to seeing you all in only 7 weeks! loads of love, Sam xxxx
