Tagging Along With Ajitesh

So here is a post from a long time ago that I wasn't able to finish until now!
Until school started (They are off of school for 6 or so weeks during the holidays, then when the new year stats, the new school year does too) Justin was working for Ajitesh (neighbor) and they would do all kinds of exciting things.  One of the days I tagged along and moved the birdcage shown above.  It was super super heavy so Ajitesh decided to hire some guys on the spot.  At first I was like oh, this might take awhile... 3minutes later 4 guys were in the back of the bakkie ready to go help!  The picture above is a picture of two of the guys that helped us.
The house we moved the giant bird cage to is sorta like a zoo.  Lots and lots of animals.  The donkey I'm touching in the picture was hilarious.  There was some dirt in the bed of the bakkie (pick up truck) and I started to brush it out onto the ground the and the donkey made all kinds of noises because I was messing his ground haha.  I had a great time tagging along.

Holidays

Hey!  I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.  It has been a long time!  
For awhile I wasn't very busy, but about a week ago I hit the ground running.  Driving all over the province.  I spent the end of December and the begginning of January house sitting for Graham Philpott and his family, with the team.  We had a great time at his house.  We all spent Christmas with our host families and would visit them on the weekends.  
The picture above is from Christmas day.  We had a church service in the morning then we ate lunch together.  Malcolm and his family were not with us because they were in Johannesburg,  Christmas actually wasn't very eventful.
So this is a picture of some delicous banana bread that Lizzy baked at the Philpott's home.  Lizzy did lots of baking while Garrett did a bit of frying (onion rings and french fries) and I cooked some pasta.  We actually had an interesting time trying to cook foods since we didn't have very many spices or anything for good flavors.. we felt a bit limited, but we ended up doing well for ourselves.  Unfortunately this was the only picture I took of our creations.  So the Philpott's were in Capetown and they drove a camper, so we had a suspicion that they brought their spices and seasonings with them for cooking.  I'll see if I can find a picture of their camper/Kombi/motorhome for my next post.
