Another Saturday morning feeling slightly fragile but we have had a busy week.Weds night Niall Causer and Ash joined us for dinner at Soria Moria dollar night ..all drinks and Tapas a dollar! The food is fabulous and the cocktails are even better.Thursday we met them at a quiz night that was raising funds for Grace House and They were invited to come to school with us on friday.Friday is fun/games day....we can play football or hangman or relay racing or poker etc... .Ok so i lied about the poker .Its a fun day and the boys turned up and within half an hour they had become dripping sweaty and exhausted. So we had them mixing cement to help M and K with the mosaic ,Ash had visited our electrical workshop.I think he thought he had entered a war zone when he entered my class room as the kids were using each other as human dartboards and he was an easy target.They taught the kids a bit of rugby ..one girl was particularily good NDRFC should sponsor her !!!!!And finally the day ended with Holly AKA The pied Piper of Cambodia , leading the weeny class to the volley ball pitch , where she was well and truly mugged for her water balloon bombs. I did actually do a bit of work that day as I was taken out to an old ladies house...I use that term lightly. She had approached Grace House for some assistance as she was unable to afford food and medication. Piseth took me on the moto, BTW he is very handsome and I didnt know which part of him I was to hold on to We were doing the assessment.She told us she was born in 1930 and she was 76 and that in 4 years time she would be 80??!!!?? I didnt have the heart to tell her she had missed her 80th birthday . Anyway she had no family and she was on blood pressure tablets and she sold banana cake on the street .This was her only way of being able to buy rice.Thats it.......rice.......She wasnt a dirty old lady and her house was very clean and she did have a mozzy net.She had no hair and very few teeth and a face just like my grans and she just kept smiling at me as she talked and Piseth translated for me.I didnt take photos of her because I didnt need to ....She told us that her house had cost us 100 dollars to build and she had borrowed the money .She managed to pay back 50 dollars (god knows how ) and when she raised the next 50 someone stole it.....but she has since paid it all back.Now Grace House will see if they can help her a little financially.I went on to a second family but I wont bore you all to death ....you can ask me about it when you see me , if you want.
Had a fab night out with the girls and said bye to Amanda currently sat on her UPGRADED flight back to Dublin.Bumped into the boys again and they helped us at another quiz and then we went partying
If we dont get to see you before you move on thanks for all your help and entertainment .Safe journey onwards and maybe Glasto ? Causer get on it and give someone your registration number for the resale.
