After having a great
weekend away it was time to put up the final poles to the climbing frame for
the tier swing. Proved difficult as all the carpentry had to be done at the
tops of the poles which were about 2.5m in the air but by the kelp of climber
keith we managed and bolted it all together. We looked for the tier swing to
find out some one had taken our rope and used it to tie down the luggage on the
safari jeep.
These is a volunteer here that hired a
boodabooda for the day so I got to take it to town and get another 42 m of rope
for £3.60 and I drove it back home. Half way through driving I wished I had
some glasses on to stop the bugs flying in to my eyes and causing my eyes to
water.
Today we have had 8 new volunteers arrive 6
is a group of girls and 2 of which are a cupuple which have been here last year
working on a water project.
John one of the lads here knew a family
form his last visit that was going to cook for us. Ten of us went and had some
great food. Beef, spageti, rice, matoku and cabbige. I had my first taste of jack fruit and
desided it tasts like gone off bananas so didn’t take too much of it.
A guy here has erected a 17 ft pole for a
basketball hoop. &ft is in the ground and 10 ft is out. He dug to deep he
hit water and as we are quite high and he was so close to an old sespit it
could have only been one thing. A lot of the volunteers here worry that this
pole is dangerious as he didn’t cement it in the ground and it is so heavy it
took 6 large lads to pick it up. Lets hope it dosntrott too much in the ground
and fall on to a kid.
