Day 26 - Learning Centre 3.0

Today was our final Monday we have where we are scheduled to work. As a result of the Communicare Action Soccer League being delayed for a couple of weeks, we've had Saturdays off, and work Mondays. As it all starts this Saturday, though, we now have every Monday off. Not too bad.

It was a pretty boring day, to be honest, so there wont be much to this post. As part of our time here at Communicare, when we are at the Learning Centre, Lourens, Joe, Azille and co want us to help them out giving a hand to the people that come in to use the computers. However, most of the people that come in, don't need help at all, so we end up chilling out for most of the day on the computers, which isn't too bad. We only had to help one lady who had a bit of trouble with some files that she wanted to save on her memory stick. Other than that, zilch.

As there is going to be a little tournament on the Ruyterwacht circle on Saturday, for an official opening of it, Joe had some nets in the storage cupboard that he wanted to see if they would fit on the goals, so Martin and I grabbed a bag each, and walked over to the circle with Joe. There was a big cleanup happening at the same time, and to be honest, the circle looked amazing. It was nice and clean, and looked really good. We went over, tried a net on each goal. Both fitted, happy days. Before we left, some guy came over, and wanted us to check out the Bee Hives that been spotted in 3 of the trees surrounding the circle. Bit hesitant, we both went. The first couple of trees you had to look closely to see the hive, but on the third tree, you couldn't go near it, it was huge! Bees were flying around everywhere it was crazy. Apparently Lutvia is going to come and sort it out soon. Wouldn't be surprised if she sorted it out herself, bare handed. She's terrifying. Martin's admitted many times that she scares him. I'm a little bit more brave though, as shes tought me a bit of Afrikaans.

A little while later, Joe came in  to the computer room where we had just had lunch, and asked us if we wanted to go with him to the Drommedaris complex. Apparently he had let some woman take control of the main building in the complex or something, and wanted to see if she'd left it in decent condition. As we had nothing else to do we were more than happy to come along.
Not much to say other than it was nice and clean!

After that, we headed to the Brooklyn office, where Joe had to pick something up. We also saw Conan there! We were welcomed with bad news, though, as we found out that Conan is leaving Communicare on the 27th February. We were gutted. He promised us that we'd still see him and that which is nice. He even slotted in a potential invite to his and his wife's birthday do in the middle of March, which should be good.

After getting back to the Learning Centre we were free to go home. Tired and hot, we headed straight back, in preparation for the FA Cup draw, and the Man Utd - Preston game, which Preston were unlucky to lose in my opinion. None of United's goals should have counted. First one was offside, second was a push on the defender, third was a disgusting dive from the England captain. Shameful. Typical Man Utd though. Sets up a decent quarter final with us, which from the looks of it we should be winning it. But we never seem to turn up at Old Trafford which worries me a bit.
