Sunny Weekend

Saturday and Sunday turned out to be lovely sunny days and also time for me to get a bit domesticated.

Saturday was car valet day, miles and miles of dust and mud to be washed off - inside and out. This turned to be quite a good day for it as I managed to get some good sun and a little bit of exercise (there was some serious scrubbing to be done). Turns out I got a bit of sunburn but these things happen. So after a good productive day, out for a beer with Greg and some of the people from the Dian Fossey research centre.

Sunday, a little bit more relaxing with some chores around the house. I also spent some time working on the birds of Rwanda checklist booklet and managed to make a big dent in that as well. Andy got back early from Uganda so we set about making some nice thick creamy vegetable and cheese soup - mmmmmm!

Today was more or less an office day and starting to get documents etc etc ready for my trip to the UK and sorting things here that need to be dealt with in my absence. We did have a nice spell of rain today, something we haven't had for quite awhile (being dry season and all) and it was very welcome indeed. The temperatures have dropped quite a bit now but living up here we're more used to these temperatures than the really hot days they have in Kigali.
