The noise of 100 exhausted people sleeping on a factory floor is strangely similar to a jungle at night.
I am incapable of holding on to more than one ear plug for an entire night.
Yesterday, after an overnight bus journey that, unusually for me, I managed to sleep through almost all of, we shovelled mud for 4 hours. 14 people can shift a lot of mud in 4 hours. To my surprise, steamed-up goggles aside, I really enjoyed myself.
In the evening, we giggled quite a lot. We don’t hate each other yet…
We have been told that day 2 is usually the worst as everyone always does too much the first day and they’re still very tired from the journey. This is probably true. I want coffee.
We start shovelling again in 90 mins. This time for 8 hours.
The family we helped yesterday were so pleased
