Sudan photos & yesterday's update

Here is the link to my Sudan photos, which are finally up just two weeks before I return to England.
Southern Sudan Oct-Nov 09

And here follows a post I started on this computer yesterday. I finished it on my laptop, which I will post later, and there may be some stuff missingfrom the middle that I need to write about. But here you go...


How frustrating. I can’t actually do anything at the moment. I have to wait until my hard drive is scanned and cleaned before I can open anything, and there is no internet to do research on. Humph.
So I shall write up instead. Now where did I get to? I think I had updated on Laikipia, so this weekend then. Gosh, it’s Tuesday already.
Saturday was obviously incredibly interesting. I don’t actually remember any of it. I think mostly over the weekend I just chilled out, planned to do things but never got round to them, sat in the sun, read books, browsed the internet and cooked lovely meals with Hannah & James and had some great evenings. So days pretty quiet and not done a lot, and then in the evening we would all cook together, open a bottle of wine, and then sit down to dinner and conversation. It has been really really nice. Hannah & I went into town on Saturday. We met up with Ruth, a Kenyan girl who we met in Tot when we went before Christmas. She is the sweetest girl ever. Tiny and with a high but not annoyingly so voice. She’s studying banking and investments at uni, i think in her last year. And she’s also one of Henrietta’s research assistants on FGM (female genital mutilation) in Tot during the circumcision ceremonies. So we had tea with Ruth and her friend from uni, then Hannah and I went off on a wander to find the Akamba bus station so she could buy a ticket for her bus on Monday...........
