(Benjy with Oskar, my godson, in December 2008 in Dar es Salaam)I'm babysitting again. Danny and Sirkku are entertaining their Finnish guest, who flew in from Sri Lanka, in the night clubs of Dar es Salaam.* Babysitting is much fun, because the kids are so lovely and easy. Daniella, after her late night snack (usually porridge or noodles), falls asleep peacefully at around seven-thirty or eight. Benjy stays up longer, till about nine.
Tonight we were supposed to play the "Safari Game" (safarileikki) again. You know, pretend your car breaks down during a safari, climb to the nearest baobao tree (=sofa) for safety, shoo(t) off the wild beasts circling around, and eventually call a friend to pick you up with the helicopter... But poor Benjy fell asleep on the sofa, at eight-thirty, before our car broke down.
*Just kidding. They're at a restaurant enjoying a civilized discussion.

Jason, varmasti Benjy ja Daniella ovat myös nauttineet seurastasi ja luovuudestasi. Ja Sirkku ja Danny saaneet kaivattua aikaa olla kahden. Upeeta.
Pappa--onneksi nähdään nämä afrikkalaiset taas pian, jos ja kun piipahtavat Suomessa. Täytyy antaa Sirkulle ja Dannylle vähän aikaa hengähtää, ennen kuin rupean ehdottelemaan uusia talvireissuja Tansaniaan. ;-)
