What a shocker (part two)

A few more pictures from the breakup. The first is of the baby class of the Nursery school (3 yr olds) with their party hats and candles ready to sing 'This little light of mine....' Just delightful.


The second photo is of P1 performing involving Mark & Paul whom you can see and Ezra who is obscured.

We have found that you never have an empty knee at these occasions. The third picture shows Reny and Marilyn at the start of the day with two little ones on their knees. Annabel ( on Reny) later climbed onto my knee and promptly went to sleep until Aunty Eunice took her up to the home. I later had another climb on board to do the same thing. I must have a comfortable lap.
Finally, our blogs wouldn't be complete without a photo of Raghma.

You are probably wondering what has been shocking in all of this.....
Well, on Friday morning before we went to the breakup Marilyn got a huge electric shock from the washing machine. It threw her across the room and she has several bruises in places I cannot show you. Needless to say she needed time to recover before going to the school. We just thank God that it was her to get the shock because Ezra was about to put something in the machine too and he may not have survived. The electrician was summoned now-now and he assured us that he had fixed the problem. We had been losing our power for several days so we knew all was not well.
However..... today Marilyn and I both got shocks off the deep freeze (just tingles) and she got another larger shock from the washing machine again. The boys said that they too had been getting shocks from the washing machine so we think something is wrong with the earth wire. The electrician is coming first thing tomorrow to 'fix it', watch this space....

Mama & Papa return tomorrow night much to Mariska's relief. The children are looking forward to their arrival. Mariska has done an absolutely magnificent job in their absence, there has been a good feeling about the place.
Please continue to pray for us and our good health, and pray for safe electricity. Pray also for the children as they are on holiday, that they will find positive ways to fill their time and for an extra portion of tolerance and patience for the Aunties.
Thank you to those who have sent Christmas goodies, especially Doris and Stella from St. Peter's for their decorations. I don't know if I've mentioned it before but we LOOOOVE getting mail!!
Until next time
God Bless
