As you can see I have no photos as I didn't bring the laptop and have no means of emptying my camera with the pictures taken here so far. Am working on it!

Ken has been so well and today on ourtravelling he has walked up steps from seeing waterfalls [not very exciting as the dry season is just ending] and he hasn't been out of breathe once.

The only blot on the horizan is that when the VSO nurse called us she said that it may be decided that he has to finish and not return to Madang as mediacl facilities are poor. But we aren't worried as it isn't anything that we can do about it. The house has been let for a year and they move in on Monday, tomorrow!!!!

I am fine although last week just before he went down to theatre I got a bit wet eyed when I realised how far I was away and I was on my own. But am fine now and have appreciated the many messages.

My biggest worry has been thinking of my sister Chris who is hospital with a suspected stroke which is worrying. On top of nephew also having chemo and losing a very dear friend and neighbour on my birthday, things have been rather sad for us. I finish each BLOG when the page fills or I lose the lot!!! Hence the abrupt end!!!
