Went to school on Friday. the Asha Kiran School Bus picked us up at 8.30 and we travelled through the Bangalore rush hour stopping from time to time to pick up groups of students and teachers.

When we got to school, Lilian was given the job of helping in the accounts department and I was given the job of supervising the children's play area outside as some of the teachers were off! As this is a special needs school many of the children require to be closely supervised. In between times when things were quiet it gave me the opportunity to catch up on some of my reading which had fallen behind, so it worked out well for me.

Had lunch at the school and got to know Albert the cook and his wife Beena.

After school we all travelled home again by school bus dropping people off on the way.

Got home about 3.15 and Dean Lappin and I went out for a cup of coffee and a chat in one of the posh coffee houses where a cappuccino costs a scandalous 50p! Dean is a schoolteacher from Auchnacloy and has been working at Asha Kiran School for the past 5 weeks. It turns out that he is a member of Knockonny Baptist and his girfriend is the sister of John MacDermott's girlfriend! John McDermott is a former member of our church and is doing some of the preaching while I'm away. Small world!
