I've now had 3 days in Atibie, and feel I am settling in to some extent into the pace of life and am feeling more comfortable wondering down the street to buy groceries. It is weird having so many people look at you and call out hello when you walk past, although everyone we've met is really nice, it can be a little intimidating when all you want to do is buy some carrots. I feel I have also started to settle into hospital, it has been pretty boring so far due to being placed with a doctor who does not seem to like talking to people. He did not offer anything spontaneously today, apart from when we first asked questions. Hopefully I'll not have too many more days like that. More excitingly I am on casualty this afternoon and will be looking forward to talking to a patient for the first time!
Despite the disappointment with the hospital, it has been wonderful relaxing with a book in the afternoon sitting out the front in the shade. I really enjoyed watching the sun go down yesterday, something I can't remember doing for quite some time.
