25th July - whats new

Today we seem to have reached as far as possible for now and yet finished quite early. Three of the walls are up to the top of the window frames -(damn metal bits that stick out from the frames, forcing you to cut the bricks to fit!) - and the other wall is up to the bottom of the windows. Most of the bricks have come up from the kiln across to the school- but again we didn't have the tractor this afternoon so we could only sort them into piles. there can only be one more trailer load to go. :p
We had a weird kind of dinner tonight.. a bit of everything was on the menu. the main item being fish, with the head, tails and fins still attached. Barney served it asking, "heads or tails??"
After I got over the look of it, it was actually very nice. Anyway everyone seemed to eat it - everyone is hungry and tired now at this point in the week.
Most people who have been ill are getting better now, so that's good news, yet everyday someone has some reason to go visit Doreen. She will probably be the most appreciated member of the team by the end of the trip.
Tomorrow we are splitting into two groups- one to go to the Church for the Sunday service and one to go rafting. Looking forward to all that could bring.
All in all, everyone is fine and really enjoying their time (not too homesick)
Over and out... Rosie

  1. Hi Steph & Lotti
    I've come down to Pappys for the weekend and we have just looked at all the photos for the week. We were well impressed with the way the building is looking and you all seem to still be enjoying yourselves. I hope you haven't been bothered much by the mossies.
    Love Pappy & Mum xxxxx

  5. Hi Katie and Laura,

    Enjoy the raft building! I'm sure you will have as much fun as I did with the kids at school building rafts then testing them in a paddling pool!

    If all else fails then... "just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming!"

    We're off to Sir Bobby's charity match tonight so I get to see Sir Les! Very exciting indeed!

    Hope you are both well and enjoying yourselves.

    Take care.

    Love Jane

    p.s. Laura, I think it's about time for one of your funny stories!

    p.p.s. Katie, I hope there is enough gravy for your Sunday dinner!
