Day 8 - The arrival of our foe, 'tiredness'

Hello blog readers
Apologies for my second delayed blog, I've now received 2 strikes from the boys and if i delay one more blog, then I'm on blog duty for the rest of the trip....

We woke to finally see a beautiful clear blue sky, however, we all limped out of bed due to ultimate frisbee yesterday arvo. The day started with us flexing our muscles helping remove furniture from a lady's estate to the Sandra Jones office that she had donated before she passed away. She was a massive canine fan thus, we smelt like dog when moving everything. Andrew's can of deodorant had a good work out afterwards. After a few hours of lifting, we headed straight to the Sandra Jones Children's Village.

We arrived to the sound of guitars strumming, which was awesome. It was another great day of Alex and Andrew teaching guitar while I was playing games with the kids. Andrew and Alex soon joined in and the whole village was now playing the 'tap the brick' game (the game where  its a cross between 'piggy in the middle' and 'dodgeball')

Here's a story for you. It was Andrew's first time playing the game so all the kids were really excited for andrew to be 'it'. His goal; to avoid the ball and tap the brick as many times as possible. After dodging the ball a few times, Andrew mustered all his might to jump over the next incoming ball. To his dismay, Lisa had thrown the ball quite high, hitting Andrew square in his pride and joy. It seems to be universal comedy when someone gets hit there, because every single child was laughing their heads off. The only person who was not laughing was Andrew who was in quite a lot of pain at this moment. Footage of this will be uploaded to Facebook real soon

We then left Sandra jones Centre and headed off to meet Abraham to have a music practice for this gig/rally we have tomorrow. We met him and his 2 musical mates and started practicing at a church. Luck would have it that the power cuts out so none of the guitars work. We didn't have a practice, so we are hoping and praying that we can play the songs well, in front of 200 people.
Thanks again for reading our blog and please leave comments as we love to read them.
