The noise of the genset mixed with the chatter of the Quilia a Bit like our Ningaries (Zebra finches0 is quite remonisant of the Murchison in the early 70,s even the baying of the odd donkey although I dont recall the sound of the Hyena though.Apparently there is also some Lions and Leopards around so with a bit of luck we will see some. The smell of smoke is almost perpetual as the local herders are burning the sudan grass in anticipation of the rains and trying to promote new growth but as it was such a dry wet the soil moitsure is gone.
Day one time at the camp was very interesting went up to the site of our project main complex which is just Bush and we are currently surveying the area which is flat we have a fall of 10cm for every 100m if we are lucky.

So which is your tent? Looks a bit dry there! Plenty of potential for improvement as they say here!! At least you have power for your communications. How is the social side of things and are you learning the local lingo?? Keep up the good work with your blog - very interesting. As long as you haven't suffered culture shock yet? We are still here - no luck on the house yet - weather cooling off a bit but no sign of rain.The Force still doing badly! Tara, Gill
Luxury! When do you start on the hut? Jake hasn't taken his scarf off yet.

Yikes! Think I'll be vegan when I visit, presume there's an annex for guests. We all miss you, Karen
Hi Tim,
I have some great photos of the boys and family for you. I am trying to upload them here. Not sure if I can.
