Gareth got started on the remaining uprights in our balustrade, because that is very important to finish. Catherine drove Mr. Cindi around and went to the shops a couple of times, and I filled in where I could. We received a truck load of crusher stone today, the second step in our landscaping scheme. It looks fantastic spread around the front of the building. It looks so good, we are getting more. Catherine and I also managed to mark out the primary lines of the basket ball court, and the ANCYL guys built a one course wall next to our new grass.
Today 4 of our plants were missing. Mr. Cindi says that people jealous of our project have removed them in spite. Well its a good thing then that we still have 5 more left in the tray, ready to replace those lost.
Ahaka and I had a very successful meeting with Linda, a local sign writer, about our recycling container project. We have designed a bright, colourful, information packed sign which will hopefully send out a clear message about the advantages of keeping your public space clean. The sign was influenced by the many painted around the township and the way they use people in portraying the message instead of heavy text. Linda was fantastic, completely enthusiastic and positive. We will surround the sign with red bricks to demarcate a place where recycling could take place, hopefully our glass bank will arrive in time. We have also tried to organise a group of council rubbish bins for the site, hopefully they too will arrive before Saturday. We had kotas today for lunch, kotas, a reinterpretation of ‘quarters’ (of a loaf of bread), are bread with chips, cheese, polony and a Russian sausage. Heavy stuff.
Tomorrow will be 9˚C, need I say more.
