This morning I went on another walk with Lucas.
Back home mom always wanted me to join her on her morning walk around 5:00 am and I always said there was no way I could do it. Now, I’m really enjoying starting my day off early with some fresh air and exercise. My legs are a bit sore after walking 4ish miles, so it’s probably a sign I need to do it a bit more.
We came across a hedgehog at the beginning of the walk. I was so surprised and confused to see it because I thought it was just a rare pet that some people have. I never connected the dots that these things actually exist in the wild; Lucas said there are many of them, but they are fairly elusive due to nocturnal habits.
This is the “trail” we walk on. It’s supposed to be a road that leads up to a couple government buildings and projects, but I’ve seen more people than cars on it so far. Lucas was saying once we get to this part of the walk it’s a bit scary because there might be hyenas or mountain lions lurking around the bush.
This is the sort of breakfast I have every day. This morning is a crepe with some green onion and then fried bananas. I have a glass of homemade juice with almost every meal I eat at home.
Yesterday was a fun day. I sat in on grade 1 classes. So far I like this age the most, they’re somewhat respectful and just young enough where the disruptions are harmless and innocent. I almost missed my bus home with Jovin and Rebecca, I had to run to keep it from leaving me (even though it’s only a 10ish minute walk home). Jovin was getting a little testy yesterday because today and Friday are baseline exams. I was supposed to have him do revisions (just what they call studying) but he wasn’t having anything to do with it. He really wanted to play soccer, but I said I wouldn’t play with him until he finished his studying. In the end we didn’t play soccer nor did we do any studying. Today will be fun proctoring the exams and seeing what level the kids are at!
