How wonderfully bizarre!
What a weird day I've had!
I went for a run not long after getting up (lunch time) and it was like a sauna out there! Great weather we are having!
This afternoon I had a wonderful picnic up the moors with my adopted Zimbabwean family, nothing beats Southern hospitality!
I was on the bus back into town when I received a text from my mom saying my brother has won the South African lottery. I confirmed this with my father, Kevin won R64 000 (around £5000)! I felt overjoyed but absolutely numb and shocked. How brilliant! It was very strange leaving a voicemail saying 'my brother has just won the lotto' then continuing to sit still. So I got off the bus and decided to walk as I truly did not know what to do with myself. Two blocks later I saw someone waving to me from a cafe and it turned out to be, surprise, Australian Andrew from my 'Yes day' and 2 of his flatmates. I joined them for a drink and then we all went to the Irish guy's farewell where I met more incredible people! Quite a few of them worked at the same place where I did my first shift in Edinburgh. A few had been to the same areas in India as me and greeted me in Hindi. Others wanted to go to Africa and do similar tourism work that I'd done so I gave them contact details of people I know.
