Adventures of a Jellybean

Some of my favourite moments  Prepping the night before-- meeting Jana, blowing balloons, standing precariously on chairs, keeping Lien company in the kitchen and making silly videos  Winning the three legged race with her by far (Clearly sokking together helps us sync up!) Chatting with Jana about how we came to be Christians hearing that lLsa got placement at Clanwilliam my speech going well, even though Anneke and I spoke much longer than Liesje's family (oh well :)) throwing buckets of water over Liesje with Anneke (My idea, but more fun with two because she got twice as wet!) cleaning up while blasting ABBA music and using the bottles of seeds as shakers Liesje scooping me up after I tried to push her over when we took pictures in a purple patch of flowers falling flat on my face when trying to do wheelbarrow races with Jana Liesje getting hoop earrings which looked so stunning on her. Her wet hair becoming volumous as it dried, making her look quite the most stunning gir...

 A spontaneous decision to go on my own after I knew Daneldi was unlikely to come. I had been feeling rather stuck in a state of overthinking about the future after finishing all the job interviews and being in the postition of having to wait. As far as I can remember, this was the day Liesje sent me a "just breathe with me" voice message, which I played on repeat.  Gina and Bella were there too! What a lovely surprise not to be riding with strangers. Sunflower bikes-- honestly what could be more perfect?! VERY loud drums, but Jade being a complete vibe and dancing along while riding her bike (how she could do both quite escapes me) circling round twice to catch the parade ringing our bells and watching people watch us seeing how proud the kids were (those twirling batons and dancing that is)-- and they should be! Being gifted kombucha as a thank you and buying myself an ice cream on the way home while walking back and chatting with Erin

 I existed in a state of constant work but! I did get everything done by Thursday! On Monday I got the email about prac placement (and messaged Liesje so we could open the email together-- guess who is going to Rhenish primary!) I messaged back and forth with Sarah Steele a little which was lovely! Liesje and I made plans to have supper together on the Friday which got me through the week in a big way We had soup and played Spot it. Liesje landed up on the floor trying to fix my bike. We made mug cakes (which nearly jumped out of the cup because of the bicarb we decided to add even though Lieneke said not to) I did washing over the weekend (it piles up VERY quickly-- laundry is as a result of the fall according to a meme I read. We never would be wearing clothes if it were not for eating the apple) Earlier in the day on the Friday before a birthday party, Dana came to finish reading Anne to me while I did the dishes. Tao walked in on the one and only soppy book in the whole book. P...
