Day 276 – Saturday 30th October 2010

Armorel was off to work this morning, but only on a half day. I was off early to have a day of building with Lucas. We are building a new shed / house for his chickens.

P1010556After a quick visit to the timber mill, we first ventured to a man to buy pork for lunch. We arrived a little early as they were just chopping the pig’s head off. We waited 5 minutes for our fresh bag of pork.

We had great fun designing and building this masterpiece, though it  was very hot work. You have to adapt to very different standards out here. Aesthetically anything goes, as long as it works and is practical. And of course with wood being in short supply and incredibly expensive you need to be very creative.P1010559

We didn’t quite finish, as we didn’t manage to complete the second storey.

Armorel had a relatively quite morning at work, with many patients taking a turn for the better. She was able to come and see the workman before popping into the market.

Tonight we had 8 for dinner and a movie!

Wonderful spaghetti and garlic bread was enjoyed before a film. An excellent way to finish a tough week!

Though there is plenty of washing up!
