Monday, 13th July

We had guests in the first week of July.They are our friends who we met in the training. They are volunteers in Dublin. Nacho is from Spain. His project finished and it was the last week in Ireland for him. Demet and Bahar are from Turkey. So there were three Turkish people in the house. We cooked turkish food, listened to Turkish music and made turkish coffee. It was very funny. Thank you friends! We would love to see you again on Inis Mór.

We went fishing at the weekend. It was a short adventure for us, but it was very funny. After fishing we played frisbee together.

Last Thursday we went to a barbeque party and we met new people there. Last Saturday we decided to go to the pub for dancing. “Is it still raining?” it was the most popular question of the day.

And the last Sunday we had new guests from the Czech Republic. Eva is a volunteer in Galway. We met her in the training. Verka is Eva’s friend. We had a good time with them in the evening. We read stories, listened music and everything was very funny. Finally we talked about religion, politics and countries. We learned a lot of things about our countries. We said goodbye to them this afternoon. Thank you girls! We hope to see you again.

Last week we prepared a puppet show for two beautiful girls’ birthday party. The story was about The Town Musicians of Bremen. “Oh yeah like a canary” was the best joke of the last week. We played a lot of games at the birthday party.

On Wednesday a new volunteer arrived to An Charraig. Her name is Viola. She is from Germany. She is a WWOOFer. She is staying with us for 3 weeks. Welcome to An Charraig!

On Wednesday night our rooster escaped. He liked the puppet show story so much that he wanted to become a musician in Bremen. Our chickens missed him so much that they decided to find him. So they escaped, too. And a long adventure started for us. We searched for them all morning and all afternoon. We looked everywhere. It was raining. Finally, our poor rooster learned that Bremen was far away from Inis Mór. He couldn’t go far. After some time we found him and the chickens decided to come back to their house. Now our rooster and chickens are living and singing in their house. Rooster found out that he could be a musician in his house. Our good singer Rooster! We like listening to your songs. Please don’t escape again!!!

And today we are preparing a barbeque party. Everybody is expected to present something funny for others. We are waiting for a nice party. It’ s time to have fun!!!

Last Friday we had a barbeque party in our house garden. Everybody showed something funny to others. We sang songs togerther. We got to know famous people from other countries. It was a very nice party. Thank you friends!

On Sunday we tried to find a new chemical theory. We called it A strange Bacteria in Big Balloon!!! Lancelot taught us the rules of fermentation with this theory using his own sign language. We could see the bacteria with his signs. We learned a lot of things. Thank you Lancelot, we are waiting for your new information!

On Monday our rooster escaped again. He took his favourite chicken and they both left their home. He wants to be a famous singer and nobody can stop him. We told him we liked listening to his songs but it wasn’t enough. Now our poor chickens are very sad and so we are. We are waiting for them to come back. Please, our good rooster and chicken, please come back home. Everybody misses you so much!!!
