Only in Incredible India

So work is going swimmingly! The daycare tiddlywinks have all learnt my name :) I've been trying to sneak photos of them but one glimpse of a camera and they all start posing like little filmstars.

A few updates from last weekend...

We travelled to Jodphur last saturday for some shopshopshopping and sightseeing. 5hrs on a coach was maaad but it's a gorgeous place. Haggled the hotel down to 288 rupees for one night, about 4 pounds...? Hot, clean, shower. LUSH. Bought lots of clothes, gifts, tea, henna, bindis. You name it. But felt like we were so rushed with silly curfew on Sunday.

Got to talk to Georgey for a whole hour :) highlight of my week!

Shooting star count is at 7 but when the generator cuts out and it's pitch black I swear you can see every single star in the sky. It's gorgeous.

It's Diwali this weekend, so camp is going into party mode for the festival of light. I'm so excited to be part of it, even though the staff all seem to be going home? Maybe that means we can push curfew.

A few funnies of this week -

• Some of the tiddlies now call me "Seven" instead of Sarah
• Stefan fell on his face in the middle of town and every single Indian here now points and laughs.
• Mr. Singh (Desert King) drove full speed through a huge cow splat today and it sprayed up the back of the tuk tuk all over Roxy and Tamara. If they reckon i'm going in the back on the way home they can go jig.

Missing hoooooome. Send me things? xx
