Can i start by saying thanks to everyone for ur cards and presents, they all made me happy!! there seemed to be a pattern of booze in some of them...cheeky! And lynney thanks for ur message, i do understand!!
I spent the week doing as much prep as i could so that come saturday i could play golf in the morning and not have to do anything other than cook the twice. I went a bought a mandolin mid-week to help speed up with slicing the onions and carrots...what a time saver!! It makes the job a whole lot easier. however, i have had a couple of nasty cuts with it!! Its not something i can do with half concentration i have now realised!!
Friday night anthony, the manager from barrow, bought a bottle of sothern comfort and we had a couple of glasses of that and watch a movie. (thor-worth watching guys!) After that it was around midnight so i hoped into bed.
I did get all my prep done and so yesterday, sat 3rd sept (my birthday as u all no) i got up at 345 and made breakfast and lunch and sent them on their way. I then returned to my room and waited to skpye home to open my cards and parcels. I did this to a fairly drunk father, and possible aunty anne but a very sobre mother!! After that i went and made myself a birthday breakfast, bacon cheese and scrammbled egg wrap with a cupp and went to my room to eat it and watch my laptop. As i had only got a few hours sleep the night before i was very tiered and decided again going for my round of golf, and, instead went back to bed until half12!! I then got up showered and moved my things into a different room. This was good as they had put 2 bunkbeds in the old room and space was a tad tight!! i then decided to walk down to the golf course and have a couple of scooners sat up on the balcony overlooking the 18th green. It was a very warm day and so this was most enjoyable! i then returned and started cooking tea for the guys when they returned. Anish, the indian in charge is someone who i get on with really well with now and as it turns out it was also his birthday yesterday! So cesar took us out to get a dvd to watch that night and bought us both a beer which was nice. (it was good to get away from the hostel if nothing else!) We then returned and anish and i got set up in the tv room to watch the film. As i new he wouldnt be recieving anything i bought him a card and a bottle of rum as he loves it so much and we drank that. They drink it with coke and a dash of water. We watched the movie 'the way back' which i recomend! i was very tired and when it finished anish asked if we could watch another so we put on casino royale! half way thru we started talking and he was telling me all about his family and life in india. when that film finished we put another on however halfway thru that the bottle of rum was no more and anish had passed out. (he hadnt eaten so this didnt help) i carried on watching the film and then anish got up and stummbled to his room! i then remembered i had to was up so went and did that before hitting the hey at around 5am. i was a wee bit drunk i must admit! talking to anish was interesting and he said that the card and rum waas the first gift he had recieved for a long time so im glad i bought it. he said that the card is safe in his bag and will be treasured. One other thing he said was that we should exchange email addresses to keep in touch and that if i ever go to india to stay with him and so i can expereice his hospitality and their way of life!!
This morning i didnt need to get up to cook breakfast as anish had told one of the lads to do it so i could have a lyin and so didnt need to get up till 10. i was a tad delicate even at that time altho not half as bad as anish. he didnt remember going to bed and thort i had put him there! and also said he was suffering alot!! All in all a good birthday i reckon!!! On another plus cesar helped me to peel the eggs for the lunch time curry which speeded things up for me.
Only 6 weeks left here doing this and then a further 2 weeks before i return home. time is flyinggggg. some photos to follow shortly ...
