LBeen a great week in Siem Reap. Out at SHCC every day from 1 til 5. Cycled every day and the journey doesn't seem so long now that we're used to it, takes about 45 minutes each way. Lewie and Tess have been in classes most days helping with English and playing games. I finished the pig pen and went to Kang's farm to see his one month old piglets. 3 escaped while we were there so spent ten minutes running around trying to catch them which was really good fun. Ha...

Spent Friday morning at the Market trying to buy gardening tools for the school - not too easy as the Market seller spoke no English so we had to mime what we were looking for! Took a tuk tuk out to the school at 12. Was really really hot day. Khong was doing sports with the boys so Lewie joined him while Tess and I set about raking the flower beds and trying to get the earth in a decent enough state for some new seeds to be planted. Typically, as soon as we had ...

It was really really hot yesterday morning. We went a walk down to the Market with Jess to get some flip flops for Tess and attempt to find a mosquito repellent that actually works (with the state of our legs this morning we failed!). Thankfully we'd left the bikes in Kob Rei Reil yesterday so we shared a tuk tuk with Naseem. Joni had started work at 7 this morning and when we got there she was feeling really ill. Instead of gardening I helped her out with the s...

Cycled again today and never would have thought I'd say this but missed the rain from yesterday. It was so so hot and no breeze to even cool us slightly. Tess took a tuk tuk with Dee which made cycling a bit easier but it really was a challenge. Took us 1hr 15 minutes so by time I got there I had to get stuck right in to the weeding. Not what you want to be doing in that heat! Lewie played football again while Tess helped me for a bit and played with her new frie...

Lewie's birthday yesterday. Just stayed at Jasmine Lodge in morning, lots of people about wishing him happy birthday. Decided we would cycle to work today. Left with Dee and Naseem about 12 to get there for 1. 15km to village, the first two thirds of which are on long straight roads past farms and rice fields. As soon as we got onto these the rain started and was the heaviest rain we've seen here which is saying something! We had no choice but to keep cycling, we...
