This evening we have been invited to Emily’s for a barbeque, at 3.30pm we were changed and ready to go however Paul was still not in from work so I quickly texted Emily to say we would be late. Paul has been in workshops all day with the other lecturer’s, he finally arrived at 4.00pm telling me he had managed to finish early as he gave one of the guest speakers a lift back to Kotu where he was staying. Lause is from Sweden and runs an Art, Graphics and Media College he offered us a visit to the Casamance area of Senegal as he is going to stay with a friend and meet up with some of his students who are also staying there. We had to turn down the offer as VSO do not want volunteer’s going to the Casamance area as there has been trouble there in the past.
Finally we set off walking to Emily’s on arrival we could see two people on the roof terrace so we shouted to try to catch their attention, unable to we phoned to say we were outside. Emily lives in a small two bed block of flats, we were taken up a private flight of stairs to the top flat and into a small lounge area. We continued up a couple of steps to a passage where two bedrooms and bathroom were situated then leading of to a small kitchen with table and chairs we made our way to the terraced roof which is ideal for sitting in the sun. Emma was there which was a nice surprise as she hasn’t been to the Kombo for the last four weeks.
Emma and Emily were having trouble lighting the barbeque so Paul went to investigate it was already lit and ready for the meat. With the skewers of chicken kebabs and sausages cooking we sat and chatted, Abigail and Bradley amused them selves drawing some pictures. With the meat cooked we tucked into Kebabs, hotdogs and rice we then toasted some marshmallows and ate them between waffle biscuits with melted dairy milk chocolate yummy. Emily had suggested we bring Uno to play so once the dishes were cleared away we had a couple of games helping Emma along with the rules of the game. We left for home at about 8.00pm, the side streets have no lighting so having come prepared we put on our torches and headed for Kariba Avenue for better lighting. On route we passed a van selling rotisserie chickens we have seen the van before but he must only sell them on an evening, we will have to try them sometime.
