2nd Run

This Friday many of the team were away Peter and Louise were doing the African safari thing. Ian and Alice were educating the youth of today. We got a new sucker mad enough to join the runners. Craig who is familiar with running and quenching ones thirst thereafter, being a hasher of old. Craig, John, and the now recovered Merek and I went on a leisure 4km jog, not the word jog as Ian was away. Kathleen with Jess in tow, really in tow, Kathleen has this nifty gadget that she attaches onto the back of her bicycle and onto the front of Jess's Bike, it lifts the front wheel off the ground and tows Jess around. Jill on her walk was joined by Ben on his bike, Kathleen and Jess. We all met at the new LOGS home under the Mango trees not that we need the shade as the sun was down by the time we got back. John summoned Merek to help start the fire, while Craig could not get his first beer down fast enough to quench his thirst. The first beer went down like a home sick mole. One of the elders Wicks provided us with some really valuable information, about how Green Pigeons contained arsenic poison. So never eat Green Pigeons. Just please leave them off your shopping list. The wings have the highest concentration of this killer substance. John Ram and family also joined the party, John dressed as if he had just come up from a South Pole expedition. Thank you to Kathleen for the popcorn, this week she managed to keep the container away from merek who feed half the popcorn to the ants last week. Thank you to Jill and Wicks for the wors. The rest of the evening was a bit of a blur, I do remember Mark also popped in for a visit.


This morning while feeding Peter and Louise's horse I heard so digging going on down near the logs. I look down and see that the ever energetic John the plumber is installing a tap for us at the logs. So next Friday we will have water. Well I hope the tap does not work. New runners will be told there is a tap over there and beer in the cooler

Well it's good to know every ones ok, Just hope that if the tap works it will only be used for washing and other emergencies and not for drinking.I'd hate to see you all become tea total, It would put me off comming back for a visit.
