Day 8 - Saturday 4th April 09 - Damascus

I've spent the morning in bed trying to encourage the stomach to discharge down wards instead of upward. Terry, Tim and Matthew have worked on the roof garden. I've listened to music, podcasts etc while waiting for the clock to crawl round to a time when my stomach would normalise. If only I could fast forward time – still at least it managed to coincide with what was already planned as a lazy day rather than a 3 hour coach trip through the desert or something equally vulnerable! Terry, Tim and Matthew planted and repotted the plants that were delivered the other day. Tim made some miniature mudhuts from soil he managed to divert from planting operations. What is it about children and dirt?
