catamaran!

Yesterday, the water was as flat as glass, so I made the kayak catamaran again! When I had finished, I put a piece of strong wood between the backs of the two kayaks. Then I sat on the wood facing backwards and started paddling with my flippers. Even though it had the drag of two kayaks, I could still paddle the catamaran quite fast!

mud!!

Yesterday, Summer and I went wallowing in the mud in our swamp.
First, we dug a hole in hardish mud about waist deep, then we filled it up with water and more mud and mixed it up. After that, we had a mud fight. We got covered in the mud from head to foot.

Rain

Last night, it absolutely POURED down with rain and it was so loud, that I couldn't sleep very well. I'm a little bit tired this morning, but its not too bad. We only got 5 and a 1/2 millimetres though, which is sad!

Half Marathon

On the 8th of May, Mum walked/ran a half marathon at Saint Clairs Vineyard. Since it was only a half marathon, it was 21kilometres. At the end of the marathon, everyone was given a bottle of wine. Mum felt really good except that her left foot was sore.

Pizza oven!!!!!!!!!!

On the 7th of April, we started to make a pizza oven at our place. We had already made the table for it to go on a couple of years ago. To make the dome shape, we put some clay into half a mussel buoy and we mixed it with sand using our bare feet! We then made the mixed clay into round balls about 10cm in diameter and Dad slapped them onto the table to make the dome. When the dome was dry, we mixed up some more clay and Dad cut a hole at the back of the dome to make the chimney. On Sunday, I fired up the pizza oven for 3hours, while Dad went diving to get some crayfish for the pizza. First, we cooked some pizza, then we cooked the bread and then lastly, the beef casserole.
