New Arrivals

I know, we’ve been slack, but there’s been a lot going on. Mostly to do with new arrivals. This week we have four of them in one sense or another. Last Sunday, the ‘doctors’ moved in. Rebecca and Scott are medical students spending 2 months in Alotau on their elective – the last thing they have to do before they officially do become doctors. Due to the exorbitant rent of the last place they were staying they have decided to spend the next 5 weeks with us. And in the meantime they will keep us entertained with the strange and the bizarre – stories from the hospital. It’s already become a nightly event.

Today a new volunteer, James, arrived. He will be working out at Fergusson and Normanby Islands (where we first visited all those months ago) as a carpenter. Sounds like an awesome assignment. Someone we will definitely have to visit sometime in the next 6 months.

On Friday there will also be another volunteer, Evonne, arriving. So we certainly will have a full house, but also lots of company. Which is rather nice. And we can’t forget that Cam will be coming back tomorrow as well! Yay!

In other news there are rumours of a phone line being installed in the next couple of weeks. Of course I’m not holding my breath, but it would be fantastic if it were true!
