Another weekend and this is really getting rather ‘samey’ so I’ll have to think of a way to liven it up a bit- I guess remembering to take my camera so that I can take pics to put on here would be one good way of doing so, but since i forgot to take it with me, I'm afraid it's all just words again here.

Anyway, in case you hadn’t already guessed, I went for a walk on Saturday morning (and really should’ve remembered to take my camera with me- the walk was much flatter than last week, although with the (apparently) 70degree slopes that we clambered up last weekend, I don’t think we could’ve done anything much steeper! This weekend it was almost entirely flat, we walked to a waterfall, called Baptist Falls- very beautiful. Because it’s sometime since the rainy season ended, the river is very low and we were able to walk up the river (unfortunately two people managed to fall in- one just got their feet wet but the other got fairly well drenched). However, the water was very shallow, so no problems, just dampness. At the bottom of the waterfall there was a deep and very clear pool, which was cool enough to refresh and relax after the walk but definitely not too cold to swim in by any means. After a relaxing swim (and the discovery of some mosquito larvae that were managing to survive despite the water flowing down the fall-tho’ admittedly not a gushing torrent), we made our way back to IMATT where I had a ‘proper swim’ ie doing lengths in their v nice pool- has good views too!

On Sunday, we went to the beach in the afternoon, which was very good fun- we went down to the BHC beach (normally very calm because it is in its own small bay) and we enjoyed playing cricket on the beach, chatting in the sun, rice and freshly BBQ’d fish, and playing piggy-in-the-middle in the sea at the end of the afternoon, tho’ it was more like ‘team’ in the middle. So all in all , a very relaxing a fun weekend and much needed after the hectic week I’ve just had!

Ooh, some very exciting news- I have a new work computer, it’s new and shiny and even has vista on it, which looks kind of fun, tho’ as yet I haven’t used it at all- just watched it being set up and it has a bigger screen than I’m used to using, so it’s all quite exciting (especially since it has taken since November for me to get a new work computer- ‘eh bo’, that’s life in Salone).
