S is for sundays


Sundays are normally slower anywhere in the world,  aren't they? Well in Mahdia things never get too slow, thanks to the  flow of miners who've just done a wash down and are looking for places  to spend their money.

A  good Sunday normally involves crepes with melted cheese shared with the  neighbours for breakfast and a cricket match in the afternoon.

The weather has been extremely dry here and therefore the water tanks are almost empty so we’ve struggled a bit with water.

Nonetheless, a powerful cloud landed right above Campbelltown (Amerindian village in Mahdia) in the early afternoon, as everyone was getting ready for the cricket match. So… we sat, drank some cool beers and waited, while the kids played football in the cool rain. Nothing like a Sunday lime!



The shower was strong and fast, so the match still took place. I tried out some batting before the game… and ouch how heavy was that bat?! Especially after having made 3 cakes for a birthday boy. Girly arms I have! *shrugs shoulders*


 Is there anything as glorious and contagious as a child’s laughter?  (unless it’s excessive hyperactivity!) I love my Mahdian babies!


 

Sun coming down... let's hide from the mosquitoes!
