You will probably never hear me say this again but....it is actually refreshing to have a cold shower in the morning! After a broken night's sleep the cold water does wonders to your state of alertness and prepares you for the day ahead.
Being a Wednesday there was a small market so Val, Chris and I headed by truck to get some food. The rest of the team trekked up to the school to keep working on the desks and hoping the wood would arrive.
Val had to make some phone calls which turns out to be quite a challenge on Tanna. Basically you have to wait for the phone line to become free, which can take any amount of time. And then when it rings to show availability it's first in, best dressed! Dial that number quick and hope you beat everyone else who's trying. And then you can't guarantee how long the phone line will last. We were left needing to try again Friday.
Thankfully the truck took us up to the school so no morning walk for me, yeah! The desks had been finished and our super painting team were busy in the library. Unfortunately they hadn't removed the recently painted desks that had been stored in there overnight, so these were now green with large specks of white. Oh well, we decided to repaint them on the last day once everything else had been finished.
The framework for the extension was worked on and the foundation finished and still more waiting for the wood! I got to catch a truck back to camp (a really good day!) and enjoyed Lindsay's teaching on leadership in the evening.
