Just a few little hitches along the way...

Spent today in the office, with a couple of weekly Monday morning team meetings before looking to get to grips with the project document system, and beginning to think about planning out producing a piece of training material for the apprentice consultants.  I was also due to get my laptop connected up to the shared drive where all the documents are stored, and to have my Business Consult Africa email address set up.  Unfortunately the IT guy didn't show, which in the event didn't make much of a difference because the power went off for a couple of hours - indeed, it was only at the exact moment my laptop turned itself off due to the battery being empty that the power came back on!

And then I couldn't get access to the documents or to the internet (because the network went down), but fortunately I could obtain a copy of last week's backup of the documents to be going on with.

At the end of the afternoon I had another hand-over session with Rick and apprentice consultant Edmund Mfutso who is working on the marketing plan element of this particular project before we headed back to the house.  And then we discovered that the satellite TV system has broken today - during the World Cup!!!

Still, this is Africa, and I really can't complain.  Just take it on the chin and move on.
