Back in Chad

 We have already been back in Chad for a week, it has passed so quickly! After queuing for hours to check in at Heathrow on Saturday evening and being concerned we might not make our flight, we flew through the night and made it to Chad on Sunday afternoon. I hit the ground running, needing to be in the office at 7am on Monday morning. Our temporary program manager had left the country before we arrived, and an airworthiness inspection was scheduled for our aircraft with the aviation authority. As it turns out the inspection was cancelled and rescheduled for two weeks time.

The aircraft are currently in maintenance, Vincent has come over from Kenya to help out and I've spent the week doing engine runs on our Cessna Caravan, as he does the scheduled maintenance and replaces the propeller. I've also been catching up on things that have built up in my absence.

On the compound Matt has started the challenge of taming the jungle that our garden has become, due to the heavy rains at this time of year. We have been enjoying watching some baby chameleons which recently hatched, and the children have been spending a lot of time playing with their friends who currently live next door.

Can you spot the baby chameleon?
