Spent another weekend away, this time to Manututo on the north coast. The mountains rise sheer from the sea - you can go 100m inland and find yourself 1000m up. Excellent swimming opportunities along white sand beaches.
The PhD continues but with an end in sight. It's been a slow subchapter as I've had to collate empirical stats from diverse sources (language data, per capita income data, encoding methods etc). Very interesting research just the same, but it's sure takes a long time to compile - especially with the connection speeds that I'm working with.
Work had been weird. The UNDP didn't translate the computer manual quickly enough, so it looks like the printed version will only be in Portuguese and English and won't be out for a few more weeks. My arch enemy here, the most slack international I have had the misfortune to meet, has actually been promoted as a better person has moved on to a new staff position. Evidently the scum also rises.

Thank you Mr Pip. (which of course reminds me of a series of films)
Vince fits so well, it's just a pity I couldn't fit the toilet in as well.

Mr. Pip, heheh... I like that. I could have "Great Expectations" with such a name.
Except I'd have to be careful of Miss Havisham!
