Am now really in the swing of a 6am rise for walk up the mountain to the library for the 7am class and then back for breakfast at 9.30. The rest of the day is then ours to relax or walk until the evening class at 5pm. Grup 1 (ages 6 - 11) in the morning and Group 2 (ages 12 - 15) in the evening.
Today Sita (Laxman's wife) had a really bad back so I've given her my back support and some strong painkillers. Up to now I've always managed to play the old frail woman and someone always offers to carry my rucksack for me so I thought Sita's need for the support was greater than mine. The family's generosity to us is beyond belief and money is always short but they are genuingly kind people. They received a parcel from Australia containing some books and stuff from a previous volunteer. There were 2 tiny bars of chocolate in the parcel and there are more than 10 family members but they gave one bar to share between me Marianna and Niamh.
Had a shower and washed my hair today which was so refreshing as it's been a really hot day. It's surprising how easily you get used to cold water.
