Relaxed...

Time: 8.27pm

Weather: muggy. Its been trying to rain. No luck yet.

Wearing: 'girly girl' t-shirt, long brown skirt

Listening to: the Shins- 'oh Inverted World'

Mood: weary but positive

Days highlights: waking up with a view of lake Malawi. Having really good, constructive time with the team.

Days lowlights: the resorts breakfast buffet. No donuts today! Pancakes (YAY) but only fluoro pink jam to put on them?! aah! I really miss breakfasts in Aussie cafes. Arriving back in Mangochi to discover my new garden has been partly hijacked to propogate shrub cuttings. dig your own dirt!!

I can't believe: There are 4 new comments on my blog!! what is happening? there are people out there?! i thought I was writing to dear www...


I think we all had a great weekend away from Mangochi. Didn't realise how much i needed the break 'til I got there. I think I'll end the 'retreat' by having a bath and going to bed early.

I'll tell you more about it tomorrow. Until then, here's a little taste...

oh man...thats the just the beginning of the inappropriate use of food colouring. Always love to haer from ya but the email doesnt have to be too soon- otherwise I'll start feeling guilty or defending myself with explanations of malawi time :) you've got your voice recording software working? ive been trying to set mine up(wrists are killing me) and I dont think it understands Australian :(
thanks for writing- thats worth at least a couple of hrs of smiles :)

Well it's set up.... I've been training it (in a very lazy way) for about a year and it's still painfully slow. Uni's back this week so I have definite motivation to get it working a little faster or it'll take me a week to write a page and who knows how long to do a 3000 word essay... :)

Hey Babe - thought I'd knock ya socks off and actually comment so you know I read your blog often - sometimes even instead of my email. I think it's brilliant. For breaky we're having porridge with Tahini & soaked linseeds stirred through, topped with banana & honey. I thoroughly reccommend it! oxoxox

Ive tried respononding to your comment a few times- but the power has gone off every time- jinxed! :)
brekky sounds great. Ive got the porridge & bananas...but the honey here tastes really strange...oh well in the mean time shall continue to dream about the cafe I'll open call 'breakfast' ...so in our old age we can drink good coffee and remenisce whilst dining on quality brekky-from B&E to mud cake! missin ya. x
