Lie-in today! Breakfast at 8, so got up
at 7:45, then got ready etc. As it was cleaning day, we couldn't
drive from 10-1, so we had to walk to St John's nursery (the one we
visited on Wednesday; where Morro's son goes). They painted 2 panels
of the wall last year, but there are loads left blank, so we chose to
paint six more.
We divided it up into one per pair- AH and I were
together, working on the shapes wall, and Maths helped us as well.
It was very messy and hot, but
enjoyable- we played music and got stuck into it, and it was really
nice to see immediate effects of what we were doing as the pictures
took shape.
The painting took around 3-4 hours, and
the finished result looked amazing- so much better! It's created a
nicer courtyard atmosphere for the children I think :) My highlight
was when AA spilt paint on her wall (a garden) and smudged it trying
to get it off. She then painted what was going to be a flower next to
it, but it accidentally made the smudge look like a butterfly, so she
made it into one.
Walked home with a shop stop, where
some of us (including me) were left behind. Oh dear!! Thankfully we
found the right way in the end.
Home. All very painty, and was
difficult to get off in the shower. GS decided to smack my bum with
his blue painty hands, and it went through my leggings- I now have a
blue paint marks on my bum, and there's no mirror in the shower so I
can't get it off!
Sat in the second lounge; we played
music and sang/danced- it was so much fun! GS, AH and I did an
impromptu dance to Hey Mickey. Definitely a highlight! I also wrote a
lot- I'm really enjoying having time to do some creative writing :)
Went back to the market for people to
get their clothes back from the tailors, then home for dinner. People
tried on their clothes- with varying success!! AH's dress, MW's top
and GS's shirt are definitely the most successful.
After dinner we did a quiz in our room
pairs. AH felt ill and went to bed, so our team was just me for
around half of it. However- somehow!- we won :) Got kettles (or
watering cans?! Who knows!)- I am very pleased. MW/SL and JG/GS tied
for second place.
Bed!
