A Bit of News

Charlie and I have arrived in Africa. We got here in the middle of the night and had to sleep on a sofa because of a mix-up at our 'maison de passage'. All is well now, though. We are having a couple days in Ouagadougou, doing the visa formalities and drinking improbable amounts of water. Going up to Djibo on Thursday, inshallah. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

It is very hot, but also nice to be back.

My Fulani friend Adama's first comment to me was 'Eeeeeeeeeee, a haari de', which means 'Eeeeeeeeee, you are full.' Must start running again.

Charlie says she is liking it here. Hooray. I'm so glad she's here with me.

Our latest application for the Djibo FM radio license (September this year) has been rejected by the Conseil Superieur de Communications. We have another opportunity to apply in January. I don't know whether to try again or not.

More soon...
