I slept really well, although I couldn't sleep on my left side due to the discomfort. However, when I got up this morning I couldn't believe how much better I felt. My leg is still a bit achy, but I can walk without the stabbing pain that I had yesterday. The Ayurveda treatment appears to have relieved the tissue damage Radha told me I had I suffered yesterday enormously, and I cannot help but me extremely impressed by the overnight transformation in my health.

I did a little bit of early morning shopping with Asini before going into school, and the dog count went up from 4 to 7 today, with the original 4 dogs, plus 3 additional ones following us all the way into school, with absolutely no encouragement from us. Thankfully, we managed to disperse them once we got to school by splashing some water on them and shooing them away, as we certainly didn't want them entering the school building.

I did one lesson observation with Mr. Renugopal, and a second one on my own, then gave joint feedback with Mr. Sivabalan, and Mr Renugopal at the end of the school day. I think, of all the things I do for Tea Leaf Trust, training teachers to teach, and observing teachers teaching is one of the most enjoyable, and clearly one of the things I am best at, having either taught myself or observed teachers teaching for most of my adult life.

This evening I was invited for dinner at my good friend Rizvi's home. He was praying at the mosque when I arrived, so I sat outside on the steps to his house for a while, as I didn't want to enter his house without him there. He is a delightful character, and I actually persuaded him to come and eat with me, which is unusual, as being invited for dinner here is not the social occasion that it is for us in the UK, which has taken me a while to get used to.

The photographs today are of my rather bizarre dog experience here (including two short videos taken by Asini, who was a little freaked out when the number of dogs just kept increasing! I have, of course, also included a couple of photos of my evening at Rizvi's.

    Oh dear Keith, nasty fall. Hope you continue to improve. The tablets look like homemade chocolates!

    It is really good to learn how you have benefited from traditional ayurveda medicine - and been able to attract so many canine friends on your way to work!

It was my final day in the Pre-Primary Department of the Royal International School today, which was kind of sad, as they have been so welcoming, and I have had the most amazing time there. Miss Agatha and Miss Tharika run a very tight team that manages 902 children from Toddlers to Nursery to Lower Kindergarten (LKG) to Upper Kindergarten (UKG) extraordinarily well, and which provides an excellent foundation for these pupils' learning journey. I had a wonderful morning where I was observing Number lessons with the UKG Co-ordinator and the English Co-ordinator (seeing the level of English in the Number lessons). In almost all the lessons, the quality of the teaching was exceptionally high, with the attention to detail - and in particular with the resources they had prepared - quite incredible. And apart from all of that, it was great fun, which is, in my opinion what learning should be for children. I had a nerve-wracking afternoon, as I had to deliver a session on time management

My younger granddaughter Esther is 5 years old today, so I messaged her 10-year-old sister Isabella to ask her to wish her a 'Happy Birthday' from me. It was much less of a crazy day today, with a morning filled with lesson observations - this time observing English lessons in the Upper KinderGarten (UKG) classes, which is the equivalent year to Reception, so I could imagine Esther being at school with the children I was with all morning today. It was really useful today to watch the teaching of English to the 5-year-olds, whose level of understanding is already very impressive. As with the Tea Leaf Centres, it is a fully immersive system, so everything is conducted in English, and it is impressive how much English these 5-year-olds already know, in the same way that the progress Tea Leaf students make through the one-year full-time English Diploma is also extremely impressive. If you have been reading my blog, you may remember that Erica, who I had a wonderful weekend with in

I would say that this was easily my most enjoyable day so far, but it got rather spoiled this evening when I handled an extremely frustrating situation very badly. Let's focus on the good part of the day, because it really was a pleasure to work with Miggy and Stephanie all day, as we went in search of accommodation for Stephanie from next Tuesday 9th January, that we could also recommend to future volunteers who are working with Tea Leaf Trust in the Nuwara Eliya area. We visited 10 different Guest Houses between 10:00 and 16:00, with a brief stop for a delicious buffet lunch (that only cost 500LKR - a round   £1.25 -  per head) in b etween. We found some very suitable accommodation to suit a range of budgets in a variety of locations, but there was one place that was exceptional, where we returned at the end of the day to make a booking for Stephanie, who will go there at the same time as Isabelle, a new volunteer, next Tuesday. Our ideal accommodation (and I would happily stay t
