The Art of Eating..

I am sure everyone will be pleased to know that today I ate some food!! Seriously, today I actually ate the most I have so far and woke up feeling a lot better too, so I am sincerely hoping that from now on in, I shall not be having concerned Indian women, whom I have never met asking me to eat and if I am OK, as through the word of the Hindu Times it has been reported that I am under eating. Phil I am hoping is taking note of my requirements for when I return to the UK.

Just finished our presentation at the Madras Central club tonight and think we are all settling into it a bit more and some of us (mentioning no names here Ben & Carl) are free styling their way through. These presentations are a double edged sword as its good practice for us and we get to share information about us and our district but we get more presents every time - I will need to purchase a new bag as for the first time ever I can't fit things in!! Val was right when she said I would get bought clothes as I have managed to get a traditional trouser suit and a Sari and we are only just on week 2!!

We are visiting a boys club tomorrow so I am really looking forward to that as the work the Madras club does sounds amazing, much like the projects we visited today run by the Madras Central. We haven't' had too much interaction either with the Indian children so I am keen to see what services are like here for children.

I have heard the weather is some what nippy over there in the UK, so I shall be thinking of you all tomorrow when we have to get into our air con bus to cool us down from the scorching heat
