We started today with Ali going to visit the lady that she and Ian weren't able to visit earlier this week. She found the visit both encouraging and interesting.
After the visit we had a little time, so we visited the local Christian bookshop - 'Koorong', and tried not to buy too much. The stores amazing; there is a small adventure playground outside for kids, a play area inside for toddlers with a children's cartoon video playing, loads of books, music, videos, etc. The range was amazing, and many of the prices were excellent. If only we had Christian bookshops like this in the UK. We want to go back - but may need to pay for excess luggage if we do!
We got back just in time for me to go with Ian to the University to join with the Conversational English class and Bible Study group. The class was interesting, and the Redcliffe t-shirt was a talking point again with the Chinese students in both groups.
Ali's just got back. She had scones and jam at 9.30 - someone said it was a very English thing to do, but Ali said not at 9.30pm! There was a lot of discussion about accents, and apparently someone said I sounded like Jamie Oliver - I guess it's an improvement over being told I sound like Tony Blair yesterday, but I'm not too sure.
