Today is our first hot hot HOT day here
in SA. My watch tells me it's at least 30 degrees outside, but I'm
not entirely sure that's true, it sure is hot though! Everybody is
just lying around on blankets in the shade-some of the kids have been
allowed in the pool I think, but the volunteers aren't allowed. Some
volunteers went to the beach, and the rest of us are jealous of them!
We don't have access to DCH's cars, but we can hire some if we want,
so there are 2 cars that have been hired by different groups of
volunteers. One car is in Cape Town because one volunteer has a
friend from Japan staying so she's been taken to see the penguins I
think, and they managed to get 7 people in the other car!
There was a massive sports day
yesterday which all but the youngest kids went to (and all the
volunteers). DCH hired out 2 coaches for around 150 people-each coach
taking around 50/60 seated-and we were wondering how they were going
to get so many people into so little space, but we forgot we aren't
in England with their rigorous health and safety laws and what-not,
so a coach which had 50/60 seats could actually fit around 100,
especially if the small ones were sat 3 to a seat!
Other than that, not much is happening!
I go to work every week day and I absolutely love it! I've taught the
kids in my house some songs, so whenever I'm there they want me to
sing 'That song with the rabbit' And I've had to stop wearing my
watch because the kids love playing with it so much, making it beep
or turning the backlight on, they've nearly run it out of battery!
