Trying hard not to get bitten here but my mosquito net seems defective as it has let a big pest get into my bed 😆 #Nicky

Harry followed me to the local shops today and walked to heel like an obedience champion. He’s not really eating and is very skinny … the vet thought he was ok but I’m getting worried. He only accepts sardines, hotdogs and peanut butter … #DogAdvice please 🙏

#3GoodThings - today I learned Congolese people say ‘omelette’ to pull a smiley face for photos - I had a ‘beignet’ for my breakfast (it’s a donut) - can now understand French conversations if I concentrate hard

Thank you so much for supporting my fundraising- I promise I will not use water from the new well to bath Arry. Medical treatment is very expensive here and I am popular as I accept buckets of water or bags of sawdust (the latter is for my chickens) in lieu of payment

My French is still terrible but today I managed to speak well enough to work with my Congolese friends to separate our 2 flocks of chickens after an outbreak of violence in the chicken coop.

Having an amazing time and making lots of new friends. The Congo is beautiful but the mosquitoes are a menace- luckily they are rarer outside the capital. These are my friends from the rural clinics 💖

Did my #GetTheFckOutside and used a day off work to visit the most famous tourist attraction in Brazzaville … St Anne’s Basillica. Is is just me or does the architecture give off a rather gynaecological vibe. 😳 but it was lovely cool and quiet in the heart of the city.
