Around the house

OK, I should be able to get up a few posts over the next couple of days: thanks for your patience.

Things are carrying on as normal: Sarah is working hard in theatre (she's promised to do a post soon with a 'day-in-the-life' of a surgeon here: so keep holding your breath!); and I spend most of my days visiting 'les malades' in the hospital.

We've actually got an amazing place to live here: alongside the hospital there is a small 'compound' of missionary houses built since the foundation of the hospital in the early 1990s. 

Here's our house from the outside:

And from the inside, here are some shots of the lounge, kitchen and bedroom:

In the bathroom, we've even got hot water in the shower, although you have to be careful with the electric heater if you want to avoid an electric shock! :)

All in all, an amazing place - and here's the surgeon herself relaxing after a hard day 'au bloc'!
