If that were not enough, Mark then decided to have a little switch around, (with the help of Alfred from our Accommodation), of all of the keys to our rooms which resulted in just a little bit of confusion! This is a nightmare of a secret to keep seeing as I cannot keep secrets and when quizzed why Mark was suspiciously talking outside with the staff, I just had to run out of the room!
This was not the last of the adventures we went through that day. After arriving at the blind school for the second time we were confronted with more eggs, this time at a restaurant, when we were served with a full English breakfast (just 30 minutes after we had eaten our own breakfast at the base may I add) followed by huge Kenyan donuts.. We were stuffed!
After this we started scraping and washing two nursery classrooms, all the windows, all the doors and all the walls, and after ten minutes it felt like we needed another English breakfast to keep us fuelled!
This then led to more discoveries. We discovered that Mark cannot paint, Richard was very good at making sandwiches and Beth France was very speedy at painting windows!
The painting went very well and we managed to paint two classrooms and all the windows. Mark and Richard slaved for hours whilst chipping away some 'blackboard' paint whilst good old Captain Moses was stood on a wonky storage unit all day whilst painting those hard to reach places.
After all the painting was over, at Beth's request, we had the joy of listening to the Thika choir again and were utterly blessed by their strong determination to bless others despite of their challenges.
So all in all a good day with lots of laughs (and Seb's distress!)
Happy April fools day!
