No point crying over spilt milk!

Before I spilt the milk!
 Habari za asubuhi! This is what I say when I see people in the morning! It means "how are you this morning?" I say it to people when I go with Spedito to get the milk from the cows. We walk up the hill and in the wooden gate and see the three cows and the little calf. Every morning we get a jug of milk. On the way home sometimes we find an avocado for mum from the tree by the path. And sometimes Spedito carries me on his shoulders. It wasn’t good this morning when I dropped the milk when I got home and it spilled all over the front steps! It was a disaster and we didn’t have much milk today.




Fun in the garden!
  






Today I made chapattis with Mama Lucy for our dinner. I love chapattis! We don’t have a rolling pin so I have to use a jar! Today I got very, very dirty bouncing on a space hopper outside with Amisadai. We were playing mums and dads.

I also look after my tortoises. We lost one last week, but Spedito found him again. They like to eat lettuce and cucumber. I like cucumber too and I have planted lots of cucumber seeds in my garden so I can eat them too! I am growing green beans too!

Gardening with Spedito!

    We are so glad you are having fun, and learning at the same time! We wanted to see the spilt milk too..and did the bottle break?! We hope it didn't take too long to clean up!

    Jambo, habari my little friend!
    Did the dogs come and lick up all the milk? Taylor's dog Daisy would!
    I hope that you have a bath tub in your house!
    Your tortoises are very pretty.
    Love from Mama

    Thank you very much for all your messages! I love finding them! Mummy was too distracted to take a photo after I spilled the milk! But I didn't break the bottle! I can't imagine your garden freezing over, Naomi! I am watching the seeds come up in the sunshine here! I have made a great friend called Kaiya who is from Australia and lives just near us and is four like me! We have a PO Box in Iringa. The address is PO Box 962, Iringa, Tanzania. Thank you!! Lots of love, Louisa

    I think you should walk up the road and bring the cow home and milk her there. Then if she trips over, no maziwa would get spilled, and you would have both hands empty to pick up avocados. Will you have some beans for me to eat when I come?
