Day two at the workplace..
After a nourishing breakfast we set off back to the Centre.
There was sand to be shovelled into woks....
.....which were then carried upstairs by the chain gang...
....to where Natacha and Hollis were busy sifting.
Meanwhile on the top floor one group were busy preserving the wood for the rafters..
....before the next group came along and painted them brown.
The chain gang then set about to clear a huge pile of rubble..
....which ended up back down in the yard.
All the while we are watched by bemused neighbours!
All in all a very busy day and we were all very glad to get back to base and some EQT.
Tomorrow we have a day off and we are looking forward to an excursion down to Gaul. And it's James' birthday so there may be cake!

Looks like hard work with all those stairs - you'll all be super fit at the end of it. Nero sends a big doggy lick to all that know him.

It really does look backbreaking stuff but the break to work with local children looked really good - very rewarding. I am glad to see Georgia - these blogs are like Where's Wally when it comes to trying to see her!!
ReplyDeleteTom Peck, looks like you got the jammy job of painting rather than the back breaking job of rubble moving and sand sifting - or am I wrong. Dad says that the picture of your bowling action makes you look like Muralitharan (whatever that means) and the 10 year old looks like Slinger Malinga - no wonder they won. Seems to me that you all deserve a great day off tomorrow. Much love The Pecks and Tangle and Thistle.xxx
ReplyDeleteMmmm, breakfast looks delicious, I'd better practice my dahl for when Nick gets home (it'll beat the usual toast and nutella :) ). Good to see you guys working as a team and working hard on the project - well done all of you! Best wishes Lee, Jane, Matt and Maria xx
ReplyDeleteJames, are you still passing bowls of sand up and down those steps? You look like you need a day off. He the trip went well and you had a great b'day. Thinking of you and of course we made a cake for you, trouble is Dad keeps eating it.....
ReplyDeleteWhat's new eh? Mind you I expect you'll be getting your own cake - and eating it. We all miss you lots, especially the humour! Lots of love Mum, D d, Fi, Teddy, Grandma xxxxx
Hi Alannah glad to see you are perfecting your painting skills just in time for us moving again. It will save me paying decorators to do you room. Hope the food is to your liking and there are not to many beasties. Ps we have left your boxes for you to unpack after we found a huge spider in one of them :-) lol. Mum got excited today as when we passed the building site they have the frames in for the French windows. The build is coming along pretty quick now. Miss you yes it's true I am missing you. All our love Mum and Dad of and the mad dog Badger xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHollis, why are you on light duty? You should be on hard labour like the other boys. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo of Will getting stuck in shovelling sand. Looks like back breaking hard work, keep it up and enjoy your rest days and excursions, you all really deserve them. Missing you Mum & Dad x
ReplyDeleteChelsea that turtle looks just like Stacey. I think I felt cookies puppies today. I really hope so. I love seeing all the pics of what you have been upto and miss you loads. We are going camping to fob swarm today hippo hunting for Libby. We gave booked to go again when you get here. Libs Alex and dad say hi and can't wait to see you either. Have loads of fun babe x x x x. Enjoy the experience and make the most of your time ther love you x x x x x
ReplyDeleteHello Robert!
ReplyDeleteYou will have finished another day of hard work when you read this, hope all is going well :-) Did you all enjoy your trip to Ratmalana School? We'll look forward to hearing all about it on your next blog update. Dad keeps teasing me for ...(I bet you can guess it before I write it!!) ...worrying! I nearly had kittens when I saw some of the photos of the build! I must stop it before I drive everyone insane! We can't wait to hear about your adventures from you in person.
Take care, stay safe, Love from your ever worrying Mum!! ;-) LOL!!
Wau, it looks like they are working you all hard out there, before they let you out to play. Absolutely sterling work done by all of you, and I bet all us parents cant wait to get you home, so you can show off those new skills you are all picking up. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like all those work glowes and paint brushes are getting a good workout. And if it all seems hard, hot, dusty and humid, remember YOLO, and you will be done out there before you know it. It will be so amazing for the folks who get to use the building when you are done. Well done all of you. Tacha -I told Leedy about all your hard work, and she whinnied: Keep up the good work, and Phew that she is not out there with you to work that hard!!!
Knus,
Mor, Far og Rødemis xxx
P.S. As a challenge you can teach your fellow students to pronounce æ, ø & å.
Joseph,darling. I'm trying to catch up on days of not being able to get my messages through to you. We haven't forgotten you I promise. There are no photos of you in the last couple of days so I hope you're ok. Have you found the bite zapper yet? Remember you've got loads of insect repellant!! Did you hold a turtle? And have you also got a pair of jazzy trousers :) Love you loads plus one and no returns. Mummy xxx
ReplyDeleteDarling Joseph. I saw this on my computer (yay!) and realised you were playing table tennis. This trip is tailor made for you! I hope it isn't too hot to play though. The work looks really tough. I've seen a picture of you sifting sand in another blog - good for the muscles I'm sure! Really missing you. Lolpoanr xxxxx
