I went to yoga this morning and it was more like a two hour workout. We were able to do it under the sky putting the mats down between puddles.
There was a transport strike today which meant walking to OCCED was very peaceful.All the children were at home so it was quite a busy day.Nina's fever has dropped but she is still poorly.Two nurses came in today to give the children all their polio drops.
It was very hot this morning so the girls and younger children watched a couple of videos,which they quite often do on a Sunday.
This afternoon the boys showed me their acrobatics that they have copied off Nepali films........
flip somersaults ,from stationary, off a wall.They were very impressive. Hopefully I am going to spend next Saturday with the boys as I haven't spent as much time with them yet as I would have liked.
On my way home yesterday afternoon I was walking past a shop with some girls playing outside when I got soaked by another girl who threw a bucket of water.They were having a water fight!
Their laughter stopped immediately and they looked horrified .I looked at them and said 'Ramro pani' (good water) and then laughed.They then doubled up and I could hear their laughter for quite a distance.Today when I passed the shop the girls ran out shouting 'Namaste Miss...more water,more water for you Miss!We are sorry but it was fun,yes Miss.' It was very funny but it really shows up my lack of Nepali.I could only manage two words !
