Day 11.067: Exile #2's Sunday Column #196

Exile #2 writes...

Exile #4 has had a busy weekend. After her success in karate on Friday night, she spent last night over at a friend’s for a birthday sleepover. This friend lives two houses away, so it didn’t require much in the way of organization. She did, however, text us at about 11:45 am this morning to say she would be home around noon. Some time later, we began to wonder if we should text her back to ask what she thought noon meant. Eventually we discovered she meant 2 pm. On returning home, she disappeared to her room for a while but soon we needed to be heading out once more. Her youth group had been invited to an African dinner, hosted by friends in the local community of immigrants and asylum seekers. Ominously, she didn’t respond when called and, not too surprisingly, was to be found curled up in bed fast asleep. She managed to rally (just about) and we had a fun evening eating and chatting.

Exile #1 missed out on all the fun, unfortunately, but he is off on another travel adventure.
