It's Christmas Eve and now it's really starting to hit that for the first time in 29 years I won't be with my family on Christmas Day. That said I've planned with the volunteer team to all meet for a party in KAVIPE in the afternoon and we're planning to have Christmas music and dancing and games like pictionary and charades and such like. I've also got my 2 friends Clare and Annelies (both who are VSO long term volunteers) coming to stay with me at my host home from today till Boxing Day so that's going to be nice as think I've already mentioned that my host family are Muslim sodon't celebrate Christmas.
This morning I've had a 4 hour cleaning spree, sorting my room and the one next door ready for my guests arrival. It's been good fun as when my family and Mkiale saw my efforts they all joined in and we had a good 'spring clean'. Now I'm just relaxing waiting for them to get here.
Animal update: unfortunately we've had no luck sourcing a sheep so it's looking unlikely that I will be posting any pics of a sheep wearing a bow on Christmas Day. Also my family are planning on giving one of our chickens the chop tomorrow so that we can eat it for Christmas dinner! I really hope in not around to witness that.
