• Last day on Gozeba

    22 novembre 2024, Tanzania ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    More rain through night and dull in am. Usual 7am meeting of all team. First is, we’re there any crises or accidents. Yesterday Hilary’s ophthalmoscope of 40 years slipped off the table and into the Lake😟. Last night I put my kindle away and it fell down the back of a panel. The engineers were tasked with retrieving. It took 3 of them ( the chief engineer with malaria but being consulted) about 4 hours to remove a panel and find an instrument to slide it up a very narrow passage. It was a coat hanger that did the last bit- the angle grinder was brought at one stage. What an idiot! I’ll not repeat that. I’ve spent this evening crocheting Leonard a hat as he wears a woolly hat- never thought I’d be doing that here! Unfortunately it was too windy to bring patients aboard until midday when it also started raining. The patients were all having to wear life jackets- laughing a lot about that. More interesting stuff. Lots of STDs and HIV. Finished early to set off for another island 32 miles away. Kerebe. Wonderful dinner again by Titus and Ilias. Bed.Leggi altro
