IMG_3108 - Having Fun . . .
Many children in the Philippines do not have the luxuries we enjoy here in Australia. For instance, they don't have a computer so cannot play games; they don't have the hand-held games that so many have here.
What they do have though is a sense of having fun doing whatever happens to be at the time and this is no exception!!
This tricycle would be used for carrying provisions, or work materials or for having fun as these children are proving.
This is a road away which runs parallel to the main highway in Ibabao, Cuenca, Batangas, where Rosey and I used to live in the Philippines. These roads are safe for children to play on. The only vehicles that use these would be motor cycles or the occasional vehicle. Maybe a man on his horse is going coconut gathering and he would walk along this road, sometimes breaking into a canter when the going was clear!!
These children are having a ball as you can see. What joy it is to see them co-operating in this way. I am not sure if the little boy in the front is telling his "driver" to put on a burst of speed. The others are happy there is a camera handy to record this vision. Also they are happy that this guy is white!!!
Thanks for your prayers and thoughts while I was in Griffith Base Hospital - the Lady of Smiles visited me most days and stayed either back here in Leeton or with a friend in Griffith - her garden needed to be watered so it fell to her to carry on that detail when she came home.
I visited Griffith Base Hospital last week for a week. Because I am on warfarin I need to come off warfarin and onto a drip containing heparin so I have a little "mate" on wheels I walk around with. The procedure lasted for around a 1/2 hour. Then warfarin is re-introduced into my system via tablets while the heparin keeps maintaining a dose via a cannula that is equal to warfarin while the warfarin level returns to normal, then I am dis-connected and can go home. I will wait now for another 6 weeks before my next treatment of radium therapy takes place.
