Tuesday 4th December.

6 days to go.

Stats went home today. I shall not see him for a while, if ever. If I get to come back here it will be after his project is completed. I hope to run into him on either his or my travels in the future.

I ran into a guy I met at fatboys too. He is a med student. He is doing some work here as part of his study. He is Swiss. He is in the Solomons with another med student. They were working at the Gizo Hospital, helping to look after victims of the tsunami.

Now they are doing their final bit at the hospital in Honiara. It is titled the National Referral Hospital. Many people refer to it as Number 9. It was originally set up during the War by the US. It was the 9th MASH unit. It is now staffed by Taiwanese, Cuban and local Doctors, along with European med students I suppose.

Nothing too drastic is going on here. I am not starting any new projects as I will most likely not have time to finish them.

I found out today that the court case I was to appear in is not happening, well not for me anyway.

The Lawyer rang me to tell me that the Defendant did not turn up on Monday. He is defending himself in the Supreme Court, which I must admit is gutsy. His Lawyer didn’t show up either.

I had to then hurriedly cancel the video conference I had arranged. I know it was not the Prosecutors fault, but the things I had to go through I mean!!!

The pool was nice tonight. It still had the sign up advising not to swim, but it was almost clear. The staff said it was OK. It has been off limits for about a week.
