Friday: Had a wicked day in Durban sight seeing and buying pressies for back home!! and yes dad found you a good present for once!! Took lots of pictures down by the beach and the weather was lovely. the people on the beach made massive art with the sand there are some pics that i have of some of them. Very amazing... was a lovely day and saw all the little stalls where they sold handmade gifts etc. Was a really fun day. Then helped at Isiaiah 54 in the evening with the children.
We have been painting the wall outside Isiaiah 54 during the week and its coming along nicely. ended up with red paint all over me but it was fun doing it!!
Saturday: Officially one of the best days so far!! went on a boat trip to watch for whales and dolphins. it was so lovely went out really far. But never saw any!! bum ay! but went really fast on the boat and was like weeee!!! had a truely fab time. Found out that the shark nets do not even stop the sharks as they can swim under, over and around them!!
Then the fun began, we went body boarding in the sea and i really got the hang of it, flying on the waves! it was so much fun! wasnt scared of the sharks tho!! Had a fab smoothie thing made from mango! it was dead yummy!
Sunday: Well get this mum and dad and oh yes U 2 LACEY!! I went to Gospal church!! where they sang and shouted it was actually really good. Lacey you should try it out with Martina!! haha. Oh and im glad ur new job is good honey. misisng you lots. We just spent the day with the children as the weather was naf and rained pretty much all day and night wasnt nice at all!! just like good old british weather. But here it doesnt get so depressing!! lol
Monday: Woke up at 7 am (uk time 6am) and started work again at 8am. Love being with the children they are just so full of spirit! each and every one of them. The weather was a bit better today but it was very windy! We helped sort some of the clothes out that had to be sent to other places, there were loads and there were some pink new shoes that of course were lovely and i just had to have them for being a size 6!! so you know me!!
Also started the day with the chores and then after lunch finished painting the red on the outside wall. just got the whole thing to paint cream and there are about 20 or so mini walls. Should be a great task!!
Tuesday: Had a good day and it went very quick!! oh does time fly when ur busy!! Started at 8 am again and did the chores. At 11 we went for some sunbathing and some lunch the tan is getting there using the baby oil!! fab stuff!After lunch me and Maryt went shopping as we decided we were making pancakes for everyone tonight! well we went shopping, and yes dad been driving out here! god bless them on the road hey! but we got everything we needed and as you can see by the pictures we had made alot of pancakes for everyone. about 60 or 70 i believe!! lol. loads and loads.The children loved them and so did the adults we had about 20 of us to feed!! but it worked out well., the children loved the stuff with them. We had banana, apple, peaches, marshmellows, chocolate sauce, fresh cream and syrup! i was goo and had the ancakes but with apple and peaches! no syrup nor chocolate sauce!! go me! been very healthy out here so i best lose weight!!
