It's About Time I Wrote Something.............

So, we have been here since January 08 and so much has happened. Sarah has worked incredibly hard to get her HIV/pneumococcal study up and running. She has hired Malawian staff, ordered her raw materials from Liverpool, written her ethics proposals, had them declined, rewritten them and had them accepted. She is now inundated with recently diagnosed HIV patients who have been recruited for the study. It's high-level stuff!
I, on the other hand, have been living the dream. I spent a month running Zomba Plateau Stables and taking punters on treks around the mountain, I fell off Malosa Mountain and spent a month in the UK having my jaw reconstructed with six titanium plates, I have done jobs in Cape Town, Shanghai and Guangxi Province, London and Malawi with more jobs lined-up for Malawi.
We spend every weekend in the bush, either with elephants and other beautiful animals in game parks, or with friends on Zomba mountain or on tobacco/tea plantations, riding horses and bicycles. There's so much to write that I should stop now and start writing regularly.
