Life of the construction worker.....

Well I am back in East London after spending the night out on site. I had headed out with our MD in his S500 Merc....nice! Takes about 3 hours to get there and there is not much radio available in the old Transkei so there was some interesting conversation. I am convinced that nowhere in the world will you get as creative drivers as in the old Transkei... many times I wanted to lean out my window and applaud but then I might have been sucked out..you know...sudden loss of cabin pressure and all that!!

We had a meeting with all the staff there. It was my official introduction to all the guys. After the meeting we had a braai....construction style! That means rump steaks, sausage, some chicken to eat and beer to drink....with a very small percentage of cooldrinks which gets confusing because all the guys call beer cooldrink and have no word for cooldrink. Anyway it was a good time and I am expecting to get involved in their lives to a greater degree form here on in.

I slept in a small pre-fabricated room. My roommate (seperated by a small very very thin wall) decided to do a prophetic act and by snoring cut down all the remaining rainforests on this earth and anywhere else there are still rainforests! While I can appreciate his intercessional effort from a certain angle when I pulled myself out of bed @ 4am I was feeling a tad tired. So after driving through heavy mist we arrived back at the office around 8am. I headed home had a nice hot shower and crashed for 3 hours. Then back to work.....

On the prayer side Tess and I have had a couple of really good sessions and have really heard the Spirit when praying for a variety of people back in Cape Town. The feedback from them has been really encouraging and we will press on and in! Hearing the Spirit is a necessity in these days. May our ears be open!

I have started going to music group practise and have a session tonight which I am looking forward to. Tess has a 4 week sewing machine course which also starts tonight.

All good.
