Hi everyone, First blog is rather late due to wifi connection troubles and my dodgy right foot, which I'm blaming mostly on the fog that delayed us for 6 hours at Glasgow airport and to cut a long story short- my antibiotics course finishes tomorrow and I'm slowly on the mend.
Therefore, Ive been staying at Avega Hotel- next door to Angela-as it has ensuite facilities that i need.
I feel a bit useless to be honest as i have to lie down most of the time with leg leg elevated, and disappointed obviously that i wasn't able to do the 5K run and get my hands dirty etc with Angela, housebuilding and visiting some families. But I'm an optimist and my glass is always half full and Im thinking positive, moreso that I'm feeling better each day.
Douglas has been very busy as usual and has given me tremendous support personally, and with his network of friends :colleagues and staff have helped me get back on my preverbal feet!
It had been very hot and humid on our eventual arrival last Tuesday-84f in my room.
The rains eventually arrived about a 6 days ago with thunder and lightning, which was great as it not only reduced the temperature, but helped the crops to grow. It now rains about twice most days
for about 20-30 minutes then stops.
We had 2 new volunteers who arrived yesterday from Croatia, Marco and Hannah.
Douglas is driving Angela and me to Butare, in the south, for a day trip tomorrow, and ill have the back seat to myself to rest my leg.
Its dark again now, just as it was my last visit- 6pm lights out!
Watch this space for more updates......Kind Regards, Arthur
