Another 10 minutes

No time to construct ordered sentences - on a timer..... must learn to touch type.....Just been on a sight seeing trip to St Peter's Monastry. As usual we walked off the metro in a different place and walked for what seemed like miles in the wrong direction! Traffic, roadworks, noise was all contrasted by a sudden tranquillity as you walk into the monastry grounds. Its really brightly painted red with green turrets. It kinda looks ridiculous. Its an interesting place and the people were very friendly even though we didn't kno what they were trying to tell us. I was mistaken for male so didn't have to do the flower ritual thing that all the other women had to do. Shaved heads have their uses. There is so much gold inside and chandeliers and stuff and icons and madstuff like that. And babushkas screaming every now and again and some priest guy with the biggest beard.

Last Friday we went on a school trip to a honey market - there was so much honey and you could taste it all and everything like 100s of different types. We made ourselves feel sick in the first 10 minutes cos we tasted so much. We are in a really low class. We draw pictures of rockets and alien objects and act things out a lot. We also get no half days - cos we have loads more to catch up with - this is a bad thing. There is much too much to see and do and often its much too tiring to even think about it all. If you think posting a letter in Chapeltown is complicated you wanna try it here - i queued for a good 40 minutes 3 times until i realised that particular counter only dealt with pensions. When i work out how to get stamps i'll start posting letters - i have written some - honest!

Right times up - send us a line when you get the time, Lots of love.......
