Uganda

These photos are not supposed to be amazing they are just to show you all where I am living and working ... nothing very special

This is the house 'Claire's House' where eight of us including Claire and her daughter Olivia live


These are the fabulous dogs Bella, Poppy and Kiera who are great fun to be with

  
This is my room (4mx4m) .. tiny but comfortable it is in the garden

Last night (01/11/2010) we had a thunderstorm and I started a story .. I'll finish it one day ..



Last night the rain thundered on the roof as I lay listening. Thundered as only the rain in Africa can do, spray dampening the curtain that hung with painted dragons and flapped in the wind with a fury that only a dragon can summon. The butterflies on my walls appeared life like and delicate as their paper wings almost tore with the force of the gusts. I lay, huddled in the deepest depths of warmth, blankets up to my chin as the fury continued unabated. Lightning intermittently lit the sky with cracks that left dogs whimpering and the homeless frightened. Thunder claps reverberated from the stone walls and sometimes a tree, bent over in a fight to remain upstanding, would tear from its roots or splinter when the wind found its weakness.


And this is the Uganda Carbon Bureau office where I work, set in the beautiful garden of Bill (boss) and his wife Sue

So there we go ... not fascinating but informative!!!
