This week has been a quiet week so far, Sunday was spent at home as we decided not to do our usual trip to the beach. We did get out the paddling pool for Abigail and Bradley to play in pulling it into the shade from the trees. I even managed to sit reading a book with my feet cooling off in the pool very relaxing.

On Wednesday Paul had set off to work his plan was to do some teacher observations on route. He had just got back on a Gelleh after completing one observation when he received a phone call from Ebrima to let him know to bring his car to the office as they were doing all VSO vehicle car taxes and would get his done at the same time. So he jumped of the Gelleh to get on another for his return trip home. Apparently here they have to test the vehicles they are taxing. Paul arrived at the office and he followed a couple of the VSO drivers to the station where this would take place. He was expecting the car to get the once over however a police officer checked over his documents then asked to see his breakdown triangle. He looked at this ignored the two VSO vehicles and passed all three cars through, what a joke of a test.

On Thursday Abigail went on her school trip, when she arrived home she was full of beans at least it had proved to be more interesting than Bradley’s school trip last week. Her day had consisted of a visit to Katchikali crocodile pool and museum and rounded off by a picnic on the beach.
