The Community President arrives today and we all make adobe bricks. This is hard work and involves
Ÿ         Digging soil
Ÿ         Breaking the soil up
Ÿ         Cutting straw
Ÿ         Adding water and straw to the soil and mixing well!
Ÿ         Transporting the mix to the brick production/drying site
Ÿ         Filling the brick moulds
At lunchtime there's a big sale of hats, scarves, waistcoats etc etc.
Two sheep have been killed, skinned and hung out for our farewell meal on Monday
