o Rote in a slightly bigger plane than I had left it. It was really great to be back, although John’s guests left on the plane I arrived on so he had not had a chance to tidy and clean the house after them. There have been some changes in staffing and Ellen will no longer be in her management roll – she will be working as a staff nurse on the VIP ward.17 February 2009
I got you visit the nurses mess today as I was invited to a birthday party. There are apparently 11 of them living in the mess with just 3 bedrooms and a partitioned off section. They have a large central living area, a kitchen and a bathroom. The bedrooms have mattresses on the floor and no other furniture. All their belongings seem to be in boxes in the living room which, besides these, has a table, some plastic chairs, one cupboard and a music centre. The kitchen has one compor (stove) – there were 2 today but I know they had borrowed the second earlier) and a shelving unit. I had thought my accommodation was basic but realise now how privileged I still am.
