Another bunch of things that happened in the meantime

Here we are again, sitting at the Sheraton on a quiet Sat night, updating everyone on how we are doing. Last time I posted I think was Tuesday? So things have been moving on a bit, we're still doing well, at the school they have figured out that J needs help with the language (even though he is academically level with the kids that are a year older than him so that's fine). This is the swimming pool at his school where he swims three times a week now and he is getting very very good. We're still staying in the same compound, very comfortable with nice freshly cooked veggie food every night from the restaurant in the same compound. Where J is having breakfast here... clearly not happy to be photographed but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes :)

I do apologise for being slightly spaced out, but it's been a tough week, for most of the week I have no pics to prove it but we have been doing a lot of things. Mostly at the PMAN office but yesterday was World Aids Day so we did a rally from the PMAN headquarters to the Lagos State Governors office, the Governor himself didn't meet with us but the Special Assistant to Governor on HIV/AIDS, Dr Remi Desalu, had a nice big long meeting with us and it was really useful. So we'll know next time we'll send in a proposition it'll reach the right people :) During the course of the rally I also did some yellow bus conducting (complete with hanging on the outside while holding on with one hand) and ocada riding (that's those motorcycle taxis I never thought I'd get on the back of cause the passengers never seem to hold on to anything... could never figure out how they manage to stay on but it's not actually that bad!) Of course I was behind the camera so have no pics of all that, but it was all over the news, so if you're lucky enough to receive Nigerian TV stations, you might have seen us... There's me amongst the PMAN ppl and Dr Desalu. Think you can find me?? lol

What else... oh yeah then in the evening we were supposed to maybe go swimming or do something else relaxing but at 7 we had a call from Yemisi Ransome Kuti, asking where we were, cause there was the Christmas dinner at some club or other! So I got dressed in like 5 seconds, my boss needed slightly longer (men!!) and off we went for an evening of fun. Lots of dancing. I can't even begin to tell you how ridiculous it feels that it's nearly Christmas, cause it's clearly like 35 degrees every day, but hey... I've been seen out with Father Christmas so it must be true!

Had some really nice moments on the dancefloor last night. Still feels like I was meant to be here. But I'll quit before I start waxing lyrical... hope everyone at home is doing well, miss you all!
