Its about time I put a bit of news up on the blog .. sorry for the lack of communication by this means ... I am getting quite addicted to face book so I end up sending people random messages and not really communicating any news, that said there is not a lot new here ... we are gradually reducing in number, some planned departures for meetings and holidays others unplanned due to sickness. I'm finding the constant changing around of people makes it a bit difficult to get to know people. We are becoming increasingly nervous of surviving the rainy season in our tents, there was a short but very fierce storm on monday which left quite a lot of stuff damaged ... my tent survived with a few bent poles so yesterday I moved locations and strengthened it a bit. I'm realising that I'm never going to be very popular with the kids I'm treating .. apart from the usual suspicion of white people I also weigh and measure them and try to get them to drink milk that they don't like .. the little boy whose an inpatient at the moment starts to scream when I am still 10m away so I'm not going to get many nice cuddles.
I should be leaving the compound more this week (yipee) as I going to Juba for a training day on security .. for a one day course I'll be away for 5 days because of all the travelling time, I'm looking forward to seeing a bit more of the country. Then when I get back I should have just over 2 weeks before i have my first R&R .. so I think I should survive till then
