Whats Happening??


 Last time I wrote I was off to Senga Bay again for Peer Review meeting. It was a great time to catch up with the nurses I had arrived with and swap stories and also meet up with those who are coming to the end of their placements. Above is Rob who arrived with me and Laura who leaves in July...This was at the beach party on our last night and I tried BBQ crocodile and it was very nice!!!
 Not your everyday beach experience but as they say this is Africa so moving your cattle along the beach is probably the best way.
This was the view from my hotel which is beautiful the hotel was quite run down and they only stocked the bar on our last night but on the whole we had a productive meeting with lots of work for us to do together as well as some good old fashioned fun!!

The last couple of weeks I have been lucky enough to do some lectures with the third years and post grad students.....Took the first years to the ward for the first time and will be working with some of them at the hospital next week. Also had a film crew from VSO London so I am about to become a star!!!! Well maybe not but did manage some shots in the lecture theatre, skills lab and a rather long interview so we shall see.

Currently on lock down now general election tomorrow and we have been given the week off work and have to stay in tomorrow and the day after. Lets hope the people get what they are hoping for, all quiet at the moment but we were told riots earlier in area 3.

Low of the week was my encounter with the biggest spider I have seen in my life that just happened to cover the back of my hand as it sat there. I have to say I did not take it as well as the snake and screamed my head off whilst propelling it off of me into the bath. The guard came to the rescue and killed it with the broomstick. Poor sod nearly had heart attack as he felt need to show me the rather large body which caused another scream....didn't know I had it in me!!!

Only two weeks now hopefully until my Girlies arrive really really excited about that will update as and when Xxxx
