We need more supplies for the house and so after a leisurely
breakfast we head off to go shopping. We
call at the pool maintenance company to pay for all the supplies that Kebba has
used in the rainy season, collect more and chat to Julie about the Ebola situation. They have been doing some work in Sierra
Leone, but of course that is suspended now.
A stop at Trust bank to pay Mr Sowe for school lunches, and
then some food shopping before stopping at Sambas for a cool drink and a
relaxing hour. Again we are two of only
four customers in this normally busy tourist place.
Back home for a quick change and on to meet Ousman and Agie
for dinner at Cabanas. We were there for
our appointed time of 6pm, Ousman
arrived Gambia
time at nearly seven. He had a surprise for
us; the Speaker of the House had sent invitations for representatives of the
Charity to attend the State Opening of Parliament on Friday. Lounge suit or traditional dress. We were very surprised! We were given the invitations and advised to
be there by 3pm to get a good seat in
the public gallery.
We had a very pleasant dinner, arranged for Steve to borrow
a tie, and left around 9 to return home.
