A Husband in Tuaran!

It is 5 am and I'm listening to the Imam calling the faithful to prayers. He has not the best voice I've heard and even though they make up their own chants I would say he was definitely flat! There is about another hour before daybreak comes and although I would like to be sleeping, I do like this time of day when it is cool and quiet and apart from the odd cock crowing there is just the constant background insect noise. Anyway Andrew is with me and since I last saw him he has been to Sri Lanka, Haiti, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Myanmar and finally he is working in Malaysia before returning to France at the beginning of May. We have both been living strange lives out of suitcases since January and apart from getting the terminals mixed up, we found each other eventually and spent a relaxing weekend in Tuaran, trying very hard not to open our computers. 

We went to the local Pantai Dalit beach and had a lovely walk along coming across a mare and her young foal standing in the sea keeping cool. We then went and had barbequed mangrove clams and watched the amazing sunset. The Sunday Tuaran market kept us busy in the morning and we came back with some fresh fish and lots of fruit and vegetables and being very hot and sweaty. We had dinner with friends on Sunday evening and then yesterday we both went back to " work" in that Andrew is writing  reports in the sitting room and I was answering emails, doing interviews, having meetings etc.. which seems to be my job these days! After teaching for 35 years it seems very odd not to be going to a school every day and teaching seems so much more like a proper job than my present job which seems like I'm pretending to work! Anyway variety is good and we are on the road again up to the Tip of Borneo on Wednesday and then over the Easter weekend we haven't got any plans as yet. Happy Easter to you all.
