The alarm went off just after 5am.
Emma and James were heading back and catching the 6am bus. It was very strange seeing Tabora quieter than normal, though the bus station itself was packed.
Armorel ran her cardiac clinic in the morning and I did some finance stuff for the clinic. We then took Dr Ruth to the airport for her 2 month break in the UK. It will be strange to be the only expat mzungu, long term missionaries in Tabora.
I then headed off to Friday football sporting the new Saints strip (thank you Helen and Paul) under a punishing sun, BUT the shirt worked and my team dominated, winning 12-4. Apart from my scrappy left foot poachers goal the highlights of the game included a half-volley from 40 yards out that cleared the crossbar and the massive mango tree by some distance. Fellow Saints fans may recall Rory Delap hitting the big screen at St Mary’s with a shot. It was very similar. The second was a 45 / 50 pass move which ended with a brilliant cross, to a now very red faced white man, who met the ball with his sweaty brow, only for the keeper to be standing in the way.
Typical.
We decided a night in was in order and with a great meal sat down to evening of Will Smith in ‘Hitch’. He is a stylish man.
