Ok this one's too good to waste...
I don't feel I can post this on my other blog (yes, sorry LJ, I seem to have abandoned you) as it's not very professional. But I think it's funny ( Read more... ) -
Departure date
YAY! I'm finally going back to the field, and, as is innevitable, things have gone from a snail's pace to warp speed all in an email. I'll be leaving for Addis on 3rd November! :D :D :D -

Picking up again
Seems likely that my boredom period will be cut short thank God! Rather than arse around doing nothing, or worse getting some shitty job as a pizza delivery boy (you need qualifications for everything in France, even to be a secretary) I've been in touch with IRC Ethiopia again, and they've tentatively agreed to take me on for a 3-6 month position ( Read more... )
