I suddenly realised how long it is since i wrote a blog. Last week I went to rolal so another visitor could have my room for a few days. She was a 15 year old girl who had raised a lot of money for educaid and she came with her father who is a supporter.
It is nice and quiet in Rolal but so dusty. Everywhere there is red dust and cars produce a huge cloud that make it hard to breathe.
It is not quiet here in Lumley. For the last two nights there has been all night music playing very loudly. It kept me awake the first night but I crashed out despite it the next. There is a dog in the next compound with a terrible cough, I hope dogs can't get TB, the place is full of posters saying you must go to the doctor if you have a cough for three weeks and that dog certainly has.
I have some horrible fungus infection like athletes foot but nastier. I am now taking some internal pills as well as the cream and sitting with my foot in dettol. Hopefully it will start to go soon.
The boxes of stuff that I sent are still not being released by the docks. Apparently there is suspicion that some of the stuff in the container is for trade and someone is trying to evade the import duty. Maybe Tuesday. Sean has a load of food in his boxes adn he can't wait to get at it.
Jon is coming out on the 23rd march and flying back with me. He is coming to help the IT department. It will be lovely to have him out here.
It is nice and cool out on the veranda now, there is even a breeze. I tend to have an hour's sleep in the early afternoon, its too hot to work. I am surrounded by hills and the black is darker than you ever see in england with all the street lights etc. The blackness is punctuated with lights from the houses with electricity or the occasional fire for cooking. Last night there was a big fire on the hill. The people do it to clear the land, maybe to build another house.
It is mid term break at the moment so no school until Tuesday but I am rewriting a chemistry module at the moment so plenty to do.
Will try not to leave it so long next time,
Pat
