Day 6 (27th Sept)

Getting used to the cold showers now!
Didn't really feel like breakfast this morning, but managed some fried egg and some ricey Indian dish.
Put a wash on and started on 'The Justice News Paper' (note that Newspaper is spelt as 2 different words!) again. It's quite a lot of work and is taking a while to do because as well as correcting grammer etc. We also are having to try and understand what he's trying to say in the first place, but we're getting there.
After forcing down some lunch we decided to go for a walk and get some toilet roll(very exciting stuff!), small packet of crisps for Mads and a kettle for her caffine cravings! We stepped onto the now smooth road outside the gate and managed to make a few cementy footprints before it hit us that we were walking on a newly cemented road and we were directed by the guard into the gutter! Didn't like to think what we were trudging in!
No kettle but found toilet roll and crisps. Was looking for toilet roll on shelf happily chattering away to Maddy about whether we should just get 2 or not, only to turn round to fid 2 Indian guys staring at me like I was some kind of loon! Can you blame them really!
On wa back we stopped at the cyber cafe to check emails, facebook and blogs. Got confirmation from Cambridge that they've received my application and a link for the SAQ form to fill in. Am a bit apprehensive about doing this between India and the UK but it'll get done!
Once back saw Ginny who said she'd do our salwar tops and showed us the rubbish tip. Tried to do a bit of pronunciation with her as well which was a bit of a challenge!
