This post may break the record for the shortest post yet (not cause I’m lazy just cause sweet F.A, worth describing, happened today). So this morning I had a bit of a sleep in until about nine (yes here that is a sleep in). Once I got up the other three were preparing to head to Boystown for the day. I stayed at the guesthouse and drew 3D drawings of the proposed new buildings. I spent most of the day at it which is why very little worth describing happened. To draw the drawing I checked a few measurements on site and guess what nothing matched up, nothing new there. I was beginning to wonder if I’d even bother with a post today until around 7.30 we were invited to the TV room at Judith house where the teenage girls were going singing for the Americans who are leaving tomorrow. We went in and sat down (on wooden couches without cushions) and were straight away mobbed by the real young kids (whose names and personalities were beginning to remember). The girls arrived and started singing and dancing. Next thing they started singing about shacking their asses and dancing provocatively, all the guys in the room didn’t quite know where to look (if we watched we were a bit Gary Glitter if we didn’t it was rude). Luckily the small kids were jumping up on us messing our hair and taking our cameras while the girls danced. They took loads of pictures (most of them shite but some good ones). The girls’ singing was really cool, awkward bit aside. Once they had finished their routine (which went down a very religious theme toward the end, ironic considering how it started.), the younger kids sang and danced for a bit, it was so funny. They then returned to climbing all over us. They all wanted to be lifted high in the air which was great fun to do (for the first 20 times) but became very exhausting. Some kids would kick you in the face while lifting them and other kids would be pulling at your pants to have a go. It was total mayhem. We went outside and chased them around the yard and lifted them up in the air again. In all we played with them for about 90 minutes it was great fun but very tiring. They are so cute and friendly you feel really bad leaving but it is totally exhausting so you can’t stay forever. Their carers must have the patience of (what’s very patient) a very patient person (lazy but it’ll do). On one final note Áine just pipped Jamie for inappropriate comment of the day. Jamie finished second with the words “let’s all jump in the pile” (directed towards us) while watching a bunch of kids wrestle. However Áine stole top spot with the gem of asking a bunch of teenage female orphans “do you know Dick” when asking them about a guy called Dick who visited a few months ago. So on that note I shall depart the blog world and travel to the land of nod. Goodnight.
