Day 12

Day 12

Today was a simple day; SJC, Mary's Cafe and Bendover.

After a little more work on the pool and a few Skype calls home, we headed out to SJC.  This time we decided to head down to the babies home first.  As we drove in, the babies were all standing on the back veranda looking through the fence.  There was a camp on at willow park and the babies were fascinated by the shear number of people on the grounds.

We played with the kids for a while; playing with the frisbee, an egg timer, blocks and cars.  The kids love having their photo taken and this quickly turned into a game also, holding a stuffed rabbit while I took their photo.

One o'clock is lunch time at the village, and today was sudza and cabbage for the older kids and sudza and milk for the younger kids.  It's at this time that the little kids are told to put the toys away, line up to wash their hands and either sit at the table or on the ground outside, which they all do obediently without dispute.

We shot up to the top to see the older girls for a short while.  Jonno helped make dinner, Andrew played with some of the girls and I had another guitar lesson with my three girls.  I am glad to report that my three (Devine, Amanda and Bernice) and all learning very quickly.

Back in town, Mary's was closed.  Mary's cafe is owned by Cheryl, a friend of Auntie Deb's.

Bendover Boutique is a flea-market in town where you can get new and second-hand clothing.  After half and hour walking around (part of which was in the rain), Lisa and Andrew where they only ones to purchase something.

At the end of the day, what have I learnt?  I learnt that it's not such a crazy idea for a spare tyre to be located in the engine bay.
