We are all well, although tired after a hectic week during which we have moved house and both started work.

Further to my previous post, we also had a spectactular lunar eclipse that was well worth getting up at 3AM to see.



Elle was involved in two days of interviews as part of INF's 'visionary recruitment process' that aims to attract talented Nepalis to the organisation and put them in roles where they can be trained and developed. I had a two day meeting with the INF donor team (three Nepalis, manager, and me) working out what everyone's roles are, what needs doing, and where I fit in. First impressions are that it is a strong team with a lot of experience and I have some catching up to do!



A couple of weeks ago was the Hindu festival of Holi. Not quite sure why, but this is a day when the whole country seems to get involved in water fights: pitched battles with coloured dye and water bombs can be seen on every street. We had several groups on motor bikes racing around the neighbourhood attacking each other and anyone who got in the way. It all seemed very good natured, but not a day to wear your best clothes....
