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.
Kabir.

Subject: Join us at Ndey Jobarteh's Flat
for a night get together
Gambia L,
Would you believe this? 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!!
Ebrima Ceesay,
North
London.
