11.04.2023 Child care project

Today it was back to work again. The kids still had school vacation so we don't need to help with any homework this week.

Me and svea were in the pink group and just joined in the games that the groups were switching between. It was only the younger kids since the older ones went to the pool until 14:00.

Its possible that we could also be selected to join with the older one's in the morning. Good thing that I still have my swimming pants from the ice bathing.

We crafted some simple wooden frames to put bird food in, then we played catch, dodgeball, volleyball just stuff to get the kids active. 

It is a bit disorganised in the club and I think it wouldn't even be that hard to get the kids more calm and in control. But thats probably not really the purpose of the club. It's more to really let the kids spent some energy.

After that we headed back home, it was raining again today so we didn't really go out until after dinner. Then we went to play badminton by the nearby sportsclub. We got some old dusty rackets from bernie that where still in good condition. A red and a green one. 

I took the red one. Which I later regretted.

Paddy was playing tennis outside again and just told us to go in and tell Frank that we are volunteers and staying with the Phelans.

And that actually worked quite well he told us we could just join and play so we did.

There were many different players from novice to people who had been playing for 8years. So it was always very different depending on what team you were on.

We even met another german, charlotte, there, who was staying here as 'au pair' for 8 months.

Also the red racket looses a bit of color. It looked like my hand was bleeding.

It was a fun evening and we will probably go again on thursday.
