Well, yesterday, the workers came back to do some work on the house where we are staying at, much to the boys delight!
W-R decided to take the camera and take photo's of them working! He was very excited 'cos he loves it when there is work to be done (not really school work though, but anything that involves manual labour and fixing things!).
Today, Thursday, we all went to the beach early (Jason and Jimmy were doing training on the beach - swimming), and myself and the boys played in the water, we had such fun! It is such a stunning beach! Even I get in the water, which is saying a lot, 'cos back home in Durban I never get in the sea! The thought of sharks did cross my mind though, but I have been told though that these waters are shark free! Although apparently there are jelly fish! Well, we enjoyed it anyway, and although we were only there till about 11:45 or so, we all got so sunburnt!! Jason even made me walk the entire beach and back (about 1km), for exercise for me!
Then this afternoon, J, myself, Allan, Una, and the kids all went for lunch to what J calls his "kitchen", in Shanwei - we had a lovely lunch, and while we were there, a siren went off and all doors were locked and the whole island (apparently) came to a stand still - it was a drill that they do about once a year - so we had to sit in the restuarant till the siren went again to say we could carry on with our business - it was about 20 minutes I think.
Then after that we met up with Jimmy and went to the gym - the kids played basketball in the hall, while we did gym - wasn't too bad - it is definately something I will have to get into! I have been told it is a mindset, so I have to "set my mind" that I will do gym - 'cos it will be good for me! (I will keep you updated to how it is going - or if it is!).
This evening J and I rode on the scooter into town (I now realise why some people wear the masks on their mouths when riding, not for the pollution, but to keep the bugs out your mouth!), to get some veggies and a few groceries, and then got home and Una prepared a lovely meal for us, which I took photos of, she was a bit worried, because she hadn't prepared a "special meal" for my photo shoot, but I told her not to worry, it is still good, and it is for my family and friends back home to see what we eat! So do take a look at tonights dinner!
Anyway, it is now very late, I will bid you all a good-night...
