Ollie wakes to do Amharic study. Keeping little book of words now.
Arrive late for filming Saturday Session with the BTO kids. Great to
participate in this. Learn much about the history of these kids through a
role-play game.
Afterwards we all - Fikerte, Japi, Carolyn, Eliza, Tim & me, go to Top
View for lunch in western style place with view. Cream of chicken soup,
chicken salad (strange), banana fritter (stranger) and Ethiopian wine
(strangest).
Waiting taxi, all crowd in (Fikerte walks) to Kbena where we meet flap
around with Carolyn for a while then Meet Sr. Lutgada - What a mighty
force. She agrees to be filmed for a video about Kidane Mheret. She walks
out to see the children and is surrounded / mobbed. I rush to get camera
(upstairs and down lift) but miss everything. Poor little woman nearly
crushed to death.
We are told that Monica is coming so we go down to meet. We miss her then
walk out to catch taxi outside back to Monica's. Somehow we are not able
to say good bye to Carolyn and Eliza!?
Potter around at our little apartment, 20 minutes of quiet time.
Begin to cook dinner while watching Mad Men in kitchen. Make rather bland
Vege curry (curry powder turns out to be tumeric). Also Egyptian Stella
Beer, slightly frozen.
Bed at 9:30
