Arrived- at last

I think the land mass of South Asia and Europe must be moving away from each other. This can be the only explanation of why the journey time seems to get longer and longer.
Ehhh. Anyway, arrived in one piece, if a little jaded.
In the Taxi from the airport I had a call from Sister Concepta to say she will meet me at the school at 10.00, that I should not worry as she has arranged everything with the Principal. It’s about 8 at this point and I still need to get across town to Moratuwa, which will take about an hour and half. I will then need a shower and change of clothes. Rushed around and got to the school at about 10.30.
We funded the refrub of a classroom used as a booster class for some of the kids who are really struggling. This included some building work to extend the classroom; the builders are presently on site so I was able to observe them doing their thing.
It was lovely to see the children in the class. Of course being Sri Lanka there had to be a ceremony I was given a garland of jasmine flowers. Just Lovely!! Going back there on the 6th to see their ‘Cultural Show’ it was originally going to be 2 hours long , but managed to get that cut down a bit.
Off to the visit Elephants tomorrow.

I’ll leave you with a mental picture. Here I am propped up on the bed , with the van blowing above me and the laptop on my lap. As I stare at the keys tiny red ants that seemed to have infected the keyboard, make a sudden dash for safety. Only to be consumed by the thumb of righteousness cashing down upon them (there’s another one… splat.. got it.) I’m sure this could be a metaphor for something … answers please.
