A normal weekend...

Finally feeling settled enough that this is a proper weekend! It's really nice to wake up on a Saturday morning for the first time in about 6 weeks and feel at home.

Not much else to report really. Yesterday was Youth Day, (the second public holiday in a week!) so my organisation was out marching with all the other young people's groups in Livingstone. It was interesting hanging out with my colleagues, and listening to all the NGOs fight for the attention of young people as they try to promote male circumcision, condoms, abstinence and VCT.

VSO came down to Livingstone on Thursday and took me out for lunch, which was nice as I was the only person in the office. As we don't have the internet, everyone spends a lot of time in town in internet cafes, or in meetings at the bank. It's still hard to know exactly what I'm going to be doing, but I have taught myself to use Access this week, so hopefully that'll come in handy if we ever get round to setting up that fundraising database...

Finally thought I'd share some pictures of my room, kept beautifully clean by the lovely Selina who comes in to do our laundry and clean the huge house. Tamsin, hope you're pleased to see that Dora made it onto the wall! I'm going to give the height chart to Kathy, my boss's 4-year old daughter. Hopefully she'll be able to make better use of it than me!
