Beautiful Sunbird

When I picked Abigail and Bradley up from school we went straight to Safari Garden to use the pool, Paul plans to join us when he gets home and after he has been for a run. Unfortunately the couple with the two children didn’t arrive at the pool however Abigail and Bradley still enjoyed the afternoon. Bradley is now managing to swim underwater through our legs with a little push from us and he is also swimming a little on the surface with his face in the water as it helps to keep his legs up. I got talking to a lady called Nicola who used to be a volunteer with VSO but decided not go back to her deputy head teachers job and sold her house to stay out here. She now works for the British Consulate she deals with people who have been arrested, accidents or death’s out here and quite often has to visit the prison, very different from her teaching job. Paul arrived at about 4.00pm very sweaty as he had decided to go further than usual, I introduced him to Nicola and they chatted before he jumped into the pool to cool off with the children. After lots of trying I finally managed to get a picture of a sunbird, Abigail being the one who alerted me to it you can now all see how pretty they are.

Bamboo Garden

On arriving home we quickly showered and changed as we had promised to take Abigail to The Bamboo Garden local Chinese as an extra treat for her birthday. When we arrived Abigail choose a table outside amongst the very tall bamboo, plants and lantern’s within the restaurant grounds. We choose a selection of dishes from the menu that we thought Abigail and Bradley would enjoy and ordered a round of drinks. When the prawn crackers arrived the children were pleased as they were coloured pink, green, orange and white. The food was very good Abigail and Bradley tried all of the dishes and decided the Chicken and Cashew Nuts to be their favourite. We walked back home through the very dark streets wishing we had brought our torch so as not to trip up over the b its of rubble or pot holes in the road.
