I have been totally rubbish at writing my blog! No real excuse, except busy at DeepGriha, World AIDs day stuff, McCanns long visit, and onslaught of other visitors.... plus the Jenny lazy gene! Anyway, disappointed with myself as i was really enjoying writing.

So whats new? Still in Pune - 9 months now. It is way too hot. Never experienced heat like it. Everyone gets sick - 4 volunteers  in hospital with dehydration, and i have had some wierd stomach lurgy for over a week, which has been pretty nasty. The heat saps you, it makes you want to sleep and sleep and sleep during the day, but its too bloody hot at night to sleep! Come on June when the rains come! (evidently that statement is a sign i am becoming a true Indian!).

DeepGriha - the usual trials and tribulations of working with a family owned grass roots NGO! God it can be frustration (but equally rewarding). Plus we have lost 2 really good staff members, so one of the programmes is in chaos.

India - had plenty of trips this year... i am a very lucky lady. Goa twice, Calcutta (to visit Amits roots!), and Udaipur in Rajasthan - will post some pictures soon.

Still in the throws of stomach agony, so ta dah for now
