So, Amalia wrote me an email this morning telling me of some things that happened yesterday ... and she called it one eventful Sunday!

Well ... first of all they went to look at the school Ritch has his teaching interview for in Fyzabad ... and whilst there the timing chain in the car burst ... ooops! So, he coasted to someone's yard .. and then the skies decided to open and pour rain down and caused a mini-flood! I could just imagine the drama.

Oh this is way too funny ... got to record this one ... supposedly when Amalia went upstairs to kiss grandpa and grandma and then headed to one of the rooms to change, she heard grandpa turning to grandma and asking "Who was that???" Ha ha ha! Now ordinarily that would just be funny ... but grandpa turning to Mama who has dementia and asking who's that ... puts a new dimension to funny. And here we thought Grandpa possibly still had his brain on ... but I guess its Amalia's fault - she should visit them more often ... at least he hasn't forgot me as yet ... I think ... last time I went he remembered me fine :D.

Well ... hmm ... let's see what else ... ahh yes ... Mama went missing late last night ... supposedly ... Mama took up a cutlass and decided to walk down the road .. and she went under Ramlal's house (down the hill by Nip), and she seeing some dirty dishes started washing it ... Ramlal children were so scared because Mama had a cutlass, stayed upstairs and called Sung's wife who called Tantie who came and pick her up. Hmm ... those people ... the lady trying to be nice and clean their dishes and scared of her ... never mind she had a cutlass :D.

I forgot to ask Amalia if she met Diane when she went down or since Di Got married. Di got married last week Sunday ... called her in the morning to wish her good luck etc ... she said she was nervous ... it was too bad I missed it - considering she is my best cousin ... but had my draft dissertation due last week so couldn't make it anyway.

I think today is Ryan and Roseanne birthday not sure if it is today or the 26th ... I always get mixed up with those dates ... go to remind Amalia to wish them Happy Birthday. Hmm, I wonder if they did anything for Mama's birthday ... which again I really don't know the exact date ... its either the 8th or the 9th ... one of these good days I'll remember!

Pa went from Suriname to Guyana yesterday (backtrack I believe!) ... I hope Pa reached home safe because when I called him it was around 6 pm Guyana time ... and he was still on the other side of the Berbice River and he sounded as if he had some drinks (well alot!!!). Haven't seen him signed on as yet - so I guess he is still sleeping. Mum is going to Guyana today I think.
