Course writing going well

Having a productive time at work - the first module of the special needs course is nearly ready to be printed, and I have started to write a half module on visual impairment. Everything you want to say has to be brought down a few levels to match the local situation, and you have to put in examples to make it easier to understand. I have another week to go before taking a week off before Easter. All our proposals connected to special needs are going into an appeal to UNICEF, so hopefully some of them will get through.We have a few things lined up for the weekend - tonight is a VSO social for the new batch of volunteers. It is at a roof top bar with free snacks and drinks - it's a shame that I don't drink alcohol isn't it? Nice view though, and it is good to catch up with how everyone is getting on, especially as I am now a bit more positive about my work.Then Saturday evening we have bridge with our friend from the American Embassy who provides the most scrummy snacks in the world, and insists that we always go round there. I think she feels more comfortable being at home with her security guard at the gate, rather than swanning around the town visiting dubious characters like us.
