Nick was out at Knollcombes all day yesterday, so it was a bit of a lonely day. The boys and I walked down to town and back, and then watched a DVD in the afternoon. Nick said the chapel is looking good though, and he’s especially pleased with the work he’s done on putting some steps in the slippery, muddy path that leads from the road down to the chapel. It seems likely that they’ll have another work party next Saturday, before the combined service on the 27th.
Today was splendiferous. After Nick came home from church, we had lunch of pork stir-fry with veggies which the boys disliked, then pudding, and then we all went to sit outside under the shade of the bamboo, on our camp chairs. Nick and I were chatting, and the boys were there just listening or drawing, and then Nick tackled one of Caleb’s new model airplane kits. He and Caleb worked on it for a long time. Aaron and I went inside briefly to throw together a box-mix of choc-chip cookies, then went outside again. We had our delicious cookies outside with tea/coffee/juice, and then Nick carried on with the model while I sorted some photos of Caleb. Eventually at about 5 pm we all came inside! We were out there the whole afternoon, all together, and it was fabulous. All the work on the braai and roof has been done by Nick’s own hands.
