months late, tons short.

dear ones, I know I've not been blogging like I promised. So many reasons - no power, no time, too tired at the end of a 12-hour day. But the biggest is that I'm not necessarily feeling like I have anything to say. Honestly, Christine Murphy?

Now it is almost the end of my first 6-month stint here, and I'm kicking myself for not writing more, documenting more, not least so that *I* can remember all of the amazing (and mundane, and infuriating, and allsorts) things that happen to me here. In any event, I do have some snippets that I haven't posted, and so I'll put them up today.

Much love to you all.
