settling into Ethiopian life
Hi
Everything here is tiru that means good in amharic, my amharic is coming along after about 8 hours of lessons so far, it seemed very very difficult at first now it is just difficult it is so unlike european languages that you have to just give up trying to find translations or understand the logic, to say hello you basically ask someone how they are how their family is how the harvest went how their cows are and so on it can last ten minutes but it is a nice language too as it is very polite.
Also getting to like the food here had mince meat and scrambbled egg for breakfast and injera for lunch, the injera is nice it is like a lemony pancake.
Went to the museum today and saw Lucy our ancestor it was very interesting.
Well so far so good here and thanks for all the comments,
I'll post again soon.

Hi Orla,
Emer Mc Loughlin here from Selskar (just to make you feel at home!) and St Pats Jnr. Very intersesting to keep up with your project. Any news you want from swimming group(!!!) or St Pats let me know. I've started LT/RT shared between Junior and Senior school which is an interseting change for me.I was talking to Ray at our annual set-dancing workshop and céilí and he was telling me you might have an interest in ed psych?

Hi Orla,
It is a bright sunny Saturday morning here in Ireland. Síog says hello.
All the best.
Jerome
and it's a lovely Sunday morning here in Dublin... Wish you had told us before the quiz that you would be visiting Lucy, it could have meant the difference between humiliation and total humiliation!!
Hi Orla!!!
Just dropping you a line to say hi! Pity you missed Eithne when you called, for sure I'll get the blame!!! I'll be working in Dublin after Crimbo so it's a pity you won't be there. Anyway, I'll drop you a proper line soon....
Jayo!
