Muffin man

I’m staying at my friend and colleague Kate’s cottage-cum-converted shipping container for a few days whilst in Arusha. We did a pre-work schlep up a hill during which her dog ran off to chase a dik dik, followed by eating berries and yogurt for breakfast. The wholesomeness factor has improved by around 1,000 times compared to life in Dar es Salaam. Dennis tried to dent this by delivering muffins at our desk from one of Arusha’s surprising number of tasty eateries.

Happy birthday to my father, currently living it up in Belgium in a new birthday jumper and socks, sampling beer, coffee and cake.

Dramatic scenes when leaving our Arusha office, with brooding skies over a banana plantation. March is one of the wettest months in Tanzania, so one always has to be on their guard.
