It's not all fun and games
Here is a picture of the drains I am laying, and the toys I get to play with, and the youngster I am teaching to drive

Tired? Moi?
I'm a tired man today. Got up at 04:15 and have driven 700k to collect and return people for a conference at White River base. A lot of the 700k was off road, so not like the M62. But the good side was seeing the sun rise over the Kruger National Park... and the sun setting when I was driving back

I am working really really hard
Honest! Am doing long days, mending, fixing, draining, making and mackling. But am having a good time too.
P.S. I'm the one in the middle

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain
But in Africa the rain falls everwhere, and makes a right mess of the roads. Have spent the day repairing roads in the village, and driving the 4 wheel drive in the mud. We are putting storm drains in to carry away the water. I also pulled a pickup our of the mire, as it had sank up to it's axle. Great fun!
Think Tarzan
I have tried to post a video here, but if it doesn't work, think of a rickety platform on the edge of a ravine. Imagine me strapped in a harness and then leaning back into space, and falling backwards 229' on the end of thin bit of rope. The biggest rope swing I have ever been on, and top fun!

Hands at Work orphanage
I spent some time at this community project where Hands look after 71 children, and there are only 4 adults
Still fixing cars
Working on cars out here still makes my hands dirty, but at least it isn't as cold as the Nidd Vale workshop, and it is no surprise they need fixing, driving to and from the Hands farm on roads like this

This is me with my new haircut (not as severe as it sounded on the phone) preparing the first fish I have ever caught to put on the barbie.
