Friday 5th October.

67 days to go.

I spend much of today trying to organise for my wife to join me. What with the internet dropping in and out and the power going out it is nearly impossible. I have asked a friend to organise the flights etc and have to wait to see if it is possible.I am also trying to find out what is going to happen on my Induction Training on Savo Island. I have been told that the accommodation is basic but comfortable.

After a nothing day at work, I head back to the Hotel to prepare for tomorrow. I have to be at the Police berth at 0700 for an early departure. I have developed a sore throat. I cannot be bothered with much. It is an interesting situation where apathy is your major driving force.
