It’s Friday already?

My goodness me, what a busy week. I thought I worked hard in my usual job, but it’s nothing compared to this.

The week has raced away. I’ve met many more lovely people and expanded my network. I finally acclimatised to the altitude sometime on Monday, so things became easier (less dizziness and very slight nausea). However, perhaps I became so comfortable that I let my guard down yesterday.

I mentioned that I was working on the laptop in the garden last night. It was really pleasant under cover in the braii area (see previous post). Once it got dark I came in, cooked my supper and carried on working afterwards. All good.

This morning I awoke to dozens of mozzie bites; I’d forgotten to wear my latest aftershave in the garden, Eau de Deet. What an idiot.

Today I was an advisor at the second of 3 workshops that run from 0800 to 1700. It’s a slog for everyone there, but necessary and well worth while to the university in terms of translation of its vision and mission into tangible actions.

I have really hit it off with Kennedy Mbongu, the Director of Strategic Planning at UNAM. He’s a giant, both physically and in personality.

I had a nice quiet supper with the Phoenix team (what’s left of it out here at the moment) before I crash tonight.

Have a great weekend everyone.
