going back to work after a not-quite long enough summer holiday and hearing how we improved again and must get 100% next yearcycling from London to Paris - good luck Davewashing-up in Max's zoo-like kitchenInstead I'm sat in my favourite cafe eating spaghetti and killing time. Term dosen't start for another week or so and I'm delaying my return up-country until Lucy has finished her stint at Brikama college. Last week I succumbed to boredom and booked into a nice hotel so I could at least do nothing in luxury. Good friends, hot water, clean towels, a swimming pool, jaccuzzi and a plentiful supply of alcohol have temporarily restored my good humour. Word reached me today that there will be a change of staff in the office when we return, so with the addition of two new volunteers things may be quite different. I am certainly looking forward to getting back to my own house, however modest a house it may be!But best of all - when I go to the office tomorrow I'm hoping my new camera will have arrived. Soft focus here I come!Any views expressed are my own and are not representative of VSO.
