No blog last night as we were busy getting to know our dinner guests. Very civilized. The kids were fed, bathed, toothbrushed and pajamad when K and R arrived, so they were able to be clean and sweet for half an hour and then be put to bed so we could move on to a nice meal with just four adults and a bottle of wine. Conclusion: we should do this more often, with or without company!
Today the Mancub and I went round to the house of a new aquaintance with two small boys. Result - chaos, noise and sopping wet clothes but 3 fairly happy children. The Mancub particularly liked the slide, water tray, Cosy Coupe car and, joy of joy, an inflatable racing car ball pool. The chocolate cake was good too. I think we'll be back. They are also close enough for us to walk to their house, which is a rare treat here.
Meanwhile Mr B took the landrover for some minor repairs/adjustments but discovered that one of the tyres was badly damaged... looks like another expensive month.
This afternoon I got down to some serious swahili study (while the Mancub napped) having lapsed for a good 6 weeks or so, revising some of the things I have already forgotton... and then when Kitty was out of school we walked over to the Il Boro Safari Lodge and signed up for a month's use of the (outdoor) pool - a whopping £12 for me and free for the kids. A little chilly perhaps, but I shouldn't complain really....

All sounds good to me. Not sure we'll be doing any outdoor swimming any time soon here!
