Just a short post, the first update in a long while.
The News In Brief:
1. We now have a car. A Suzuki Escudo (Vitara for the Kiwis). Needs upgraded suspension & tyres to deal with Africa properly, but it's fine for the moment. Finally a decent reliable vehicle to get us around in.
2. I have a new laptop, courtesy of Dell, my parents & Phil, & finally brought over by a very generous chap who's coming to work with Aimee's parents. For those interested, it's an Alienware M17x, with Core2Duo 2.66ghz processors, 4gb RAM, 1TB of storage in a RAID-0 2x500gb config, & dual SLI 1gb video cards. Screamin.
3. I finally got to fly my paraglider over here, just a few short soaring flights, but it was brilliant after 5 months of not getting out.
So, thing are finally looking up, although not at all in the ways we expected when we came over here. God seems to have pulled a few strings, so that in the long view, we've managed to upgrade a few things we'll need, which should help us in the long term over here. I'll write more in detail about the car & other things in subsequent posts, but for now, rest assured that we're still alive, & now back in contact with the outside world.
