Last weekend me and Moonie got invited to Charlotte Falls with Simon and Maro (2 other VSOs that live about 15 mins walk away from us)..S&M sorted us out with a vehicle from the National Electoral Commission (Simon’s employer)…and off we went..

Charlotte Falls is about 30 min drive from Freetown….on a very bumpy road. It’s so beautiful there, really secluded and serene, up in the hills. A couple of young guys from Charlotte Town offered to show us around, and we had a really nice day swimming and basking in the sun. Blissful! Unfortunately I managed to slice my left foot on a jagged rock, and yesterday I ended up at the doctors in town to get a tetanus jab…Great! Just when I thought I was done with jabs, after the 20 odd I had in London! Had a peek under the dressing the doc put on for me yesterday and it looked absolutely vile. YUK. Lol.

I’m sitting at work right now, enjoying the cool breeze of the office fan. It’s hot. And it’s only going to get hotter, although I’m told that it gets cooler til December, then we’ll all fry til March/April when Harmattan (dry season) will end and it starts to cool down again. Nice! It’s wet season at the moment, and boy is it wet. It seriously rains here. A lot! Umbrellas make good shields against the forces of nature and good walking sticks for the rocky roads.

I really don’t know what to write in this blog thing. The idea of writing my thoughts and then posting them on the WORLD WIDE WEB is a bit weird to me…. So any suggestions about what you’d like to hear about on here would be great!

So til I get some suggestions…. :o)
