On Saturday Clare had an under-sea party (we miss our island a bit) in the sculpture garden at Harare Gardens. Valentine was allowed to come, which was nice for her because doesn't get out very much. We also took the Razemba family, Tumayi and Coletta, and the Nyamupingidza family. We had a jellyfish pinata, which we made out of a box and lots of coloured-in newspaper. We also played keep the 'fish' (balloon) off the ground, bubble blowing, flip the kipper, octopus eggs, pin the tail on the whale and octopus. We had the best chocolate cake ever because Mum cooked it. The Burlesons arrived after all the games were finished and we were all packed up, but we gave them some left-over cake. I loved the pinata. It was a funny idea to have a beach party in a land-locked country, but one of our guests did manage to swim. Reverend Tadzaushe tried to jump over a massive puddle but he slipped and fell on his bottom!
Hello Maynards!!
ReplyDeleteJeff-the-mail-man just dropped in with your card and the 50,000,000 dollar note!! We are all feeling very rich now and I have voted that we use the money to come over to Africa and pop in for a visit! (I am just being sarcastic...but I would love to come anyway!!) It looks like you guys are having buckets of fun and I can't wait until you get back so you can tell us all about your adventures in the wild wilderness of Zimbabwe!! Until then I will keep dropping in on your blog (I think that it is just awesome!) and getting a sniff of life in far away Africa!!
From your Tassie friend and neighbour, Chloe
P.S. Happy Birthday Clare! :)
P.P.S Thanks for the lovely card Abby, it was very thoughtful of you and we all appreciate it lots!! :)
