Monday 14 Dec

Another beautiful Monday in South Africa..it's raining of course. So far our morning has consisted of standing in a line at the bank to get change for our crafters in Norwood (Taxi Fare) then another line to get coffee (this one we didn't mind so much). Our next stop is Victor in Evaton, we're supposed to be meeting with his wife who owns a small restaurant-cum-spaza shop nextdoor to his business,just over half way to Evaton (about 45 minutes drive in this rain) we had to turn around as the roads into the town where flooding pretty badly, driving through a flooded township or being washed away would be a slight problem. She understood though and we re-scheduled for Thursday, hopefully the rain doesn't last! Due to the intensity of the rain (seriously, Noah's Ark stuff!) we where forced to drive around 70kmph all the way back towards Edenvale, putting us way behind schedule once more.We ended up only arriving in Norwood after 2 O'Clock to deliver the fares and lunches to our crafters. On top of that we where six people short at the workshop today! Which kinda sucks seeing as we're all going to alot of trouble to accomodate them,but it's understandable to a point, weather and time of year granted..Hopefully we'll have a full group tomorrow as its the last workshop session for the year. It looks like the rain may clear up though, so hopefully tomorrow is more productive!!
