Simon assisting with child care



Fruity porcupine Susans healthy food creation


Hello Folks,

It's about 10 pm and the bouncy castle downstairs has been turned on again I can hear the blower running. The castle was here for the four year olds birthday party today which went pretty well as far as I can tell. Susan did a lot of work in the food preparation and ideas area which was well appreciated I think.

I was just filling in moving food around and generally helping on command (lift that barge, tote that bale) which was good because I have been hampered by a blocked ear (sounds a bit pathetic doesn't it) which I thought I had fixed yesterday with the wax dissolver and water syringe getting out some great lumps of crud. However it was still blocked today so it looks like it is on the other side of the eardrum.

I was observing today how quickly we have adapted to settling into new locations in the houses of people we have never met. It just seems so comfortable and easy. Admittedly having experienced hosts helps.

This morning we went to a local market with our hosts. It was much the same as any other market except tropical fruit dominated the veg stalls. On our return the rest of the day was spent assisting in the preparation and execution of the birthday party. The weather was a bit grim with rain this morning and in the middle of the day but came good for the party.
