How about this....you are having a quick Friday night post-work African beer and you just randomly bump into a former work colleague from Scotland in the middle of Uganda, who going rafting the same day as you! Bizarre experience but I randomly met Ricky Munday in Jinja on Friday. Turns out he is on secondment in Nairobi but came down to experience the rafting in Uganda. This was a good enough excuse to have a few post-rafting beers on Saturday!

Anyway, the rafting was amazing but unfortunately never flipped the boat in one of rapids. On the other hand its probably a good thing I didnt swallow much more of the River Nile water! It was a whole day event starting at breakfast, ending with dinner at night and a good 12km of rafting in between.

Works going well (the office is in the picture above) and I am in the middle of audit testing now. I wont bore you with details but we (SPW and I) have already discussed areas of potential improvements, firmly working together on it. Meetings with external auditors went well in Kampala (the capital and very busy place) and given my thoughts to SPW.

Anyway, life is grand out here and look forward to seeing you all again at some point soon!
