The Slings and Hammocks of Outrageous Fortune

It was a relaxing week for some of us.

Irene was asked to look after baby Lana for the day. Seeing this as a great chance to get prepared to look after her own grandchildren she accepted the task with great pleasure. Unfortunately Lana is so small that she was lost somewhere inside  the baby sling.

 

Malcolm was looking forward to a weekend away with Irene, Corrie and Becca. Very quickly Irene was feeling totally relaxed, enjoying a cool drink whilst resting in the swimming pool.

Malcolm also tried to get some relaxation by trying out one of the hammocks. Unfortunately he wasn’t up to the job and found himself tipped out over, and over again.

 

Corrie offered to help him, but he still ended up on the ground

 Malcolm thought, was there someone else to blame!!

 

This week’s proverb from the BBC Africa web-site is from Tanzania: ““A monkey who sits on the ground does not fall from the tree”
