Garry sent me two photos while I was sleeping Friday morning (he's seven hours ahead in Ukraine, eight Sunday morning) and messaged 25 meters done, 60 to go. He was supposed to go to the dentist Friday, but his "tooth" did not come in, they hope to have it Tuesday.
Today we chatted a number of times, and he sent a bunch of photos. Friday around four pm a thunderstorm came up, didn't even rain on the other side of the village, he said. They had started spreading fertilizer on the winter wheat fields, and didn't get much done. However, they were back at it today.
Exciting news, they finished the septic tank, so they don't have to go out to the summer kitchen for the bathroom anymore. I had been teasing him that it wouldn't be fixed until he leaves next week.
They got more done on the shed building, they have to put more posts in the ground to continue on Monday. They have used all the old steel, more new roofing is coming Monday. The students were taking down the last old shed today. Not sure what mode Garry had his phone on, there were a couple like this.
He said Max is 4 meters up here. Garry isn't allowed up there.
Even though Easter in Ukraine is in May, the church in the village is celebrating tomorrow. He tells me there's a dinner after the service. It's officially changing next year to the western calendar, but I guess some of the churches are starting this year. I thought Garry would miss Easter, so we're having dinner next Sunday with the family after he gets home.
