The sun was back


Thursday 16th July: Very cold but the sun came out and warmed the house. The news was full of news of last night's earthquake and its aftershocks. It's the most exciting thing that people have had to talk about for ages! On the tv they showed shop cctv film showing piles of bottles wobbling around and a few even fell off the shelf!
We had more workmen make more attempts to stop the leak in our roof. This couple could work under the name of Bodgit and Scarper. There was a lot of noise, all day, but no tin has yet been replaced so I guess they'll be back tomorrow.
We schooled in the morning, with all the banging and hammering and dropping and sliding noises on the roof above our heads. After lunch we walked into town and visited the library and supermarket and then the boys played in the playground of one of the local schools. As you can see from the picture, old tyres are reused wherever possible.
Tea was meatballs and Smarties cookies.
