Well here's the thing....
Things have been a little bit hectic as everyone is fond of saying here.... With the Cultural show coming through (Finally) last Saturday night, and not being a complete mess (although a funny story about that to follow), and the play within 9 days time; I am experiencing a little Battle Fatigue, especially from regular visits to the local back packers (more regular and more drunken as we go), and the constant supply of good food, good cheap beer and hot tubs is a constant temptation....
Out new arrivals, two teachers from Carlow, Una and Donal, have come and gone, but assisted Katya no end with the safe house... Sarah returned to the UK also, so for the moment K and myself are the only volunteers here, making things a welcome bit quieter....
How can a rugby team be so hyped and suck so much..... just glad the jerseys green and I can claim to be a local!
The play has progressed to a written status and I'm at my wits end keeping order and interest levels alive (leading me to walking out on the cast last week....!) but it will all be great in the end (hmmmmm, who am I trying to convince here??)
Anyway, with people not turning up when they should have (performers and attendees), there was a huge Chicken Poike (SA Chuck Stew) with about 15 kg(!) left over on Sat night.... The decision was made to leave some for the cleaners the next day and relax into chicken sambos for the rest of the week... Mean while, a group of local criminal types from a nearby township, who have been running rampant with the breaking/entering recently, got wind of the activity at the centre where we were running the show, and decided to break in to help themselves to whatever they could find. Jarque's Poike being as good as it is, the lads couldn't help helping themselves......and helping, and helping, and helping...so much so that when the police arrived, they couldn't move quick enough and got hauled off to jail! Classic and quite typical of many stories I have been regaled with while here....
So off to bed with me.... one quiet night in thirty thankfully... upcoming events include a three day camp with the local adventure center acting as guides, skydiving, paragliding, a huge party on Sat night, and lots...more...rugby (hopefully sufferable in public this time!)
Be Well!

Walked out on the cast....Drama queen
Walking out on the needy kids... for shame.
Was essential, and it worked too.... I had no other recourse to make them understand I was serious
