The diary game: Attending my colleague's child dedication (29/6/2025)

Let me be the first person to say happy new month to all members of this group. I'm glad that we all made it to the second half of the year, all glory to our Creator. So dearest people, I wanna talk about hoe my last Sunday for the month of June went. The Bible says we should rejoice with those that are rejoicing and mourn with those that are mourning, so I had to go rejoice with my colleague on the dedication of his beloved child.

Since it was a Sunday, I woke up a little late because I knew I won't be attending my church. I woke up by 7:30am and cleaned the house, then took breakfast while waiting for my other colleagues so we move together to the church.
My breakfast was my leftover spaghetti with bread. We left for the church by 11am where we met the preacher giving sermon and after that the child was dedicated and there was dancing with the parents and the members of the church and well wishes. The church finally dismissed by 1am then we moved from the church to the reception venue which was my colleague's house.

My afternoon was spent at the reception venue where my colleagues are, cracked jokes and had fun with me just watching.

We ate to our satisfaction

I brought back palm wine but had to give it out as I couldn't drink it

At about 3pm, we headed back. When I came back, I decided to take a little nap and woke up at about 5pm. When I woke up, I decided to cook a little okra soup which would be my dinner. I already had the ingredients ready at home.bso I cut the okra, the small leaves to go with it and the onions. Okra soup is one of the simplest abd fastest soup to make, I love frying my okra soup, and in a while, my my meal was ready.

After eating and washing dishes, I was bored, so I decided to exercise my brain with one of my favourite games, a game of scrabble and as it happens many times, the droid or computer won me but loosing doesn't mean it's over. There's always another day to try again.

So that was how I spent my Sunday. When I felt sleepy, I decided to turn in for the night cos the next day was a working day and I needed all the rest so as to be refreshed. Thank you for reading through.
