This afternoon, Tom and Kristina dug the holes for the compost bin legs to slot into, and made the lid for it so no animals got in.

While they were doing that me and Megan decided to paint the blackboards; we had to wipe it down to remove all the chalk, and then sand it to allow the paint to stick. Then wipe it again to remove the sanding dust.

It took a long time but once they were completely dry, the paint was mixed and the floor was covered (slightly) we began to paint. It took ages! We left them to dry and I intend to do another coat later on this week to ensure it’s all even.

This evening we played with some of the kids, playing in the garden, spinning them around a lot; they seem to enjoy being dizzy a lot.

There is a little boy whole lives with the Massai guards and he is 5 but looks only 2. He can’t talk nor walk very well. He must eat poorly because he is so small and fragile. We spend a lot of time playing with him down by the front gate because he loves the attention.

Kristina moved out of our room tonight, back to her old room, because Chrystal and Caroline have gone. It’s silly to say but it feels empty-ish now all her stuff is gone.
