The sun is out and the town is busy; bare legs and shorts everywhere! I walked down and got a drink in one of the cafes and Told the asst. manager about volunteering. It turns out that her son, a soldier, was posted in Sierra Leone so she is well aware of the need for help in many parts of Africa. Hopefully she will be able to persuade the manager next week to donate a raffle prize.
Walking along in the sunshine I bumped into a chap I know, who I Told last night (along with a few others - get me!) at an inspiring show about African/ American history, with pictures, a talk and some really beautiful spiritual singing. This fella will be running a marathon for another African charity so we agreed to sponsor each other.
On the way home I called in on some friends to encourage them to come to the quiz. She was sorting out seedlings and I explained how earlier on I had planted out some lettuce seedlings, then kept revisiting them every hour just in case something had changed. (Naturally it hadn't) Patience something I need to work on. Anyway, I continued burbling and mentioned about getting a raffle prize from the cafe and next thing I know Alan offered me two tickets to the Jazz club he runs in town, for the raffle. Yaaay, How kind!
