Day 1

Maddy has just murdered Jerry the spider! Jerry lives in the corner of the doorway and Maddy's just sprayed it with insect repellant, she's had it in for him since we arrived!
We had a slow starting day and got up at 11am! had 2 fried eggs on toast a banana (oh yes!) and then about 20mins later lunch! Which for me was prawns (slightly spicy!) rice and veg. Had shower before brunch which was cold and rather pathetic but just about managed to wash!
Then Ginny, Celine's assistant took us to the classroom we will be teaching in and we met prf. Alfonz who had just finished teaching his own English class. We talked to him for about half an hour about our familys education and future aspiriations which was quite hard to explain because of the limits of vocab for careers etc. Also it seems like in India it is not the done thing to go to university without know where you will eventually end up!
We were then taken to the beauty parlour, one of Celine's small enterprises run by the women where we saw a lady get her eyebrows plucked using string! We also went to the daycare centre for a short while and saw some of the kids there eating lunch, all were very cute and friendly if not I bit shy! Celine says we will be doing some English teaching there too, but mainly on pronunciation.
When we got back Celine was coming in with a huge fridge, iron and ironing board for us! The to make us feel more guilty we then watched Ginny drill holes in the wall so we can put our mosquito nets up properly as the metal poles didn't work too well! Celine didn't seem to be too bothered about the holes though and was impressed with us having mosquito nets which only needed one hook!
After tea which was a pasta dish, some eggy potatoey, oniony thing, boiled eggs and veg we went to bed pretty well straight away in our newly put up mosquito nets!
