Temporary halt in the proceedings......

The three regular visitors to this blog may have noticed a distinct lack of posts over the past four weeks.

The reason for this situation involves an embarrassing combination of an evening at the bar, a piggy back that went wrong, a comedy few weeks at the hands of Ugandan doctors and ultimately, a trip back to the UK for treatment on some broken bones. There's no need for details I don't think (especially as I end up looking like a bit of a muppet when you know the whole story!).

The project is still progressing at a pace in Uganda - I am just unfortunately in the hands of evil physiotherapists in the UK so am unable to take photos of progress and post information on this site. Big apologies for that, this is our way of communicating with you about the project and we do take this blog seriously so we're really sorry that we have been remiss in our updates of late! That said, Dave is in the process of emailing me some photos of what has been happening so very soon I'll be able to post some information and photos of recent events and fill you in on all the things that have been going on since I left. For one thing, I know we have a near-completed roof on the tower and I am really excited to see it - it was designed by a British builder, Andy, who has been volunteering with us for a while and it includes a hatch that we can open to use the telescope at night....how swanky is that?!

Anyway, please feel free to email me for any information and I will try and escape from the physio long enough to respond to you before I am dragged back into the torture chamber and made to lift my arms up again.

Cheers and sorry again...Nic
