The Pain of Bricklaying

So I have now done 3 1/2 days of Bricklaying and I am in so much pain across my shoulders you wouldn't believe it. I t may also have a little to do with the fact that we didn't get home tll 1am this morning, but I'm sure it is just the bricklaying... Today I was working on the front wall of the house by myself, it is the hardest and most time consuming wall coz it is double brick in a cross-over pattern, very technical. We put the door and window in last night so today I had to brick them in to place, we also put the back door in today and I did the last bit around the top of the door and an extra 4 courses of that wall before stumps today.
It was another sensational dinner tonight, Eric has chosen the best restaurants and dishes for us all week and it has been fantastic. Cambodia, well Phnom Penh anyway is a wonderful place although driving along the streets in a Tuk tuk is still incredibly terrifying.
Tomorrow is our last build day and then we have the farewell party and another amazing meal, I'll fill you in more when I am in a bit less pain.....
