Short update

We have had a tiring day. Teaching in this weather is incredibly draining. In the later afternoon, everyone gets tired and it is so hard to keep everyone's attention. The kids get a very haphazard education with different volunteers coming all the time. Also given the large age group in the class, it is hard to teach everyone properly. Those who know the answers shout them out, while the quiet ones are often forgotten. We have to make a real effort to include everyone.

Stan's broken wrist has been healing slowly. He has about 90% of movement back, but no strength as yet. He cannot do simple things like pull himself out of the pool. It looks back to normal other than the bushy black hairs he got under the cast, and the burn marks from when the cast was cut off which will not tan.

Looking better than the pale, shrivelled little arm it was 3 weeks ago!

Nicole was sick very briefly (one evening) with what we think was food poisoning, but we can't pinpoint what it was because we have been sharing our food and Stan was not affected at all. The food here is very delicious. There is a huge variety of flavours to choose from and we try something different every day.

Pork with cashew nuts. A $3 meal is enough for both of us.

Speaking of food, we have had a request to describe the foods we enjoy here. We'll try and collect a few photos and put everything together in the one post at a future date. For now, let us say we are not starved for choice. There is even exotic things like BBQ crocodile, snake, ostrich, kangaroo. No dog thankfully. We (unknowingly) had dog satay in Bali and are not in a hurry to eat that ever again.
