Hi there you London Gang! Guess what? I didn't read this mail until just now! I have been too busy with other things I deliberately avoided my PC; well, that's not entirely true, because I am hooked to the net nowadays. I have my PC in our guestroom which is presently being occupied by a visitor, so I managed a peep now and then. So even if I flied concord I would not be in time for Chakiri nor Lewal. Too bad. Regards to you all.

It is 2.30 am (Sunday morning) and myself (Ebrima Ceesay), Dr Abdoulaye Saine, Saiks Samateh and Ndey Jobarteh are having a nice get together at Ndey Jobarteh's imposing flat/apartment in North London. Unfortunately, Sandra could not attend it because I hit her car at our fence and badly damaged the two doors on the driver's side. She said she was "lazy" to take the train to London, but hoped Dr Saine would visit Birmingham before he returns to the USA. By the way, Dr Saine is presently staying at Ndey Jobarteh's flat having a quality holiday. Right now, I am making/ cooking the Chinese tea (Attaya) while Ndey is serving the "chakri". All the members of the List are invited to come and join us right now before the food is finished because there is a Camara Kunda here (in the Flat). I have been given 10 out of 10 for preparing a nice tea (Attaya), while Ndey has been given 2 out of 10 for the "chakri" she prepared (laugh!). Anyway, Ndey, Saiks and I are so glad to see Dr Saine in person after having enjoyed reading his useful postings to the L . We've found him to be humble, knowledgeable and sober. But he was surprised when he saw me. Why? Because he thought I looked 25 years old!! In reply, I told him that I was born in 1966. "You must be looking after yourself very well", Dr Saine added. However, before Dr Saine finished talking Ndey Jobarteh went to the kitchen to take a knife in order to cut, as she put it, "some of your long ears." She also told Dr Saine I had to cut my hair low so as to hide my bald head. Anyway, guess what happened? Ndey Jobarteh's food has got burnt in the fire and we are all laughing. Good for her. Finally, I have been ordered, not told, but ordered by the crew here, to invite sisters Soffie Ceesay, Jabou Joh and brother Amadou Kabirr Njie to come and attend the get together before the food is finished!!
