My house, my garden, my friends

Thank God for good friends... I've felt totally blessed the last few weeks with the arrival of some exceptionally cool short-termers, including my new flatmate Anna Macky who'll be here for 6 months, and Charlie Shadbolt who's just here 10 weeks from Tauranga with Grace and Brian Johnston.


Adventures to the top of Kalene Hill with Anna and Charlie


Anna and I with the last remaining structure of the original hospital station - the single ladies house :)



Anna and I at work goofing around with "maglasses" at work (another way my scope of practice has expanded, eye-testing)



A trip to the village church where we were given a meal of nshima, and me greeting one of the kids who was doing some very cute dancing during the service.



Dreadlocks day... had a few girls over to help dreadlock my hair... note all the kids standing at the window watching! We combed them out again after a few weeks.


My birthday on the 14th, made super special by a number of people, especially Anna, who hid little presents around my room... I felt more like an 8 year old than a 28 year old finding them all! And the funniest thing was they were all things from around the house that she'd wrapped up, with a little note in each, very sweet.


My recording studio, recording voice-overs for a video I'll be sending home.


The local most popular hairstyle I had last month, but only lasted a few days because it was quite painful!!

The garden



My garden and some of it's produce (feta cheese in salad from Lusaka... not made locally!!)
