Today we began working on the nursery. I'm still not entirely sure what we are building for them. This morning we put in the frame for a floor. And by ''we'' I mean Travis and Pippo. Clarke and I did help, but there were only a few tools, so many times we were just getting in the way.
So... instead we played with the kids, which was a lot of fun.
Update on that, I now have a signature move when playing with kids. I would like to give a shout out to my big brothers (oliver/alex) for teaching me it. Basically, you turn your hat around like a cool cat from the 90's, and pull the back down over the tip of your nose. Making sure that it is properly in place you then pull the hat down so that it fits snugly on your noggin, thus giving you a pig nose. Warning! Do not attempt with a fitted hat.
A. You'll break your nose.
B. You won't be able to see, and you will probably end up stepping on one of the kids heads. An accident like that will surely ruin your playtime, and possibly reputation.
Moving on... It is that time of year where the kids that are still in school (God bless their souls) are starting to hope for a snow day, and all of the older folks are beginning to complain. I know how it goes. Well for those people, and all others who enjoy beautiful beaches with warm water, and a waiter to fetch you whatever your sun-burned heart desires, I am living your dream. As I told you before i am staying in a bungalow in Sihanoukville, 2 meters from the ocean. At night, I fall asleep to the sound of waves breaking on the shore, and in the morning I wake up with a nice refreshing dip in the ocean. yes, it is paradise. And its so strange to swim in ocean water that is not lip-bluing cold., And by strange, I mean wonderful.
Unfortunately we will only be here for one more night. We will go back to sleeping on the wooden floor of the plantation, being woken up at 6am by a rooster, eating food loaded with MSG, sweating profusely at all hours of the day and night... And you will be the lucky ones. but for now... *Evil cackle*
Well, so long for now.
