Best intentions!

Well I had the best of intentions this morning. Game of basketball with Joe, Henry, Josh and Andrew early morning before the meeting at 11am. Whoops didn't make up until 9am and sat now having breakfast.

We are off to do a children's club in Samoeng one of the mountain villages. This is about two hours drive from our base in Chaing Mai. This is one of the villages that the team visited in 2008 and therefore it will be interesting for those people to go back. For those of us to which this will be a new experience and it is an exciting time. Our base is fairly westernised and the houses particular are very comfortable. It will be eye opening to see more of what rural Thailand culture is like. This is something that I was very keen on when coming on this trip which makes more really positive about our trip.

So far we have done mainly practical work. Check out the blog pictures to see the wall we painted. The people have been so warmvand friendly and constantly supplied us with drinks during the day. We were really greatful for this because it was proper Thailand hot yesterday and as you can see from the photos the outside face of the wall was in the sun all day.

I spoke to my wife Jane at home for the first time yesterday and they are getting very excited about coming out on Friday. It will be nice to have them out here too. Anyway we probably won't manage to post tomorrow but should be able to update you all on the pictures from the villages on Friday.

God Bless
