Hello everyone and greetings once more from Malawi. Below are a few snaps of our home, our Halloween costume and Joe running the Lilongwe half marathon.
To the left is one of the duplexes on our compound. This one can be seen from our living room window. In the background are the plains which will be looking a lot more green in the next few weeks.
A closer view of another one of the duplexes.
Our grass fence that we put up to keep Skylar locked in. Doesn't work very well as you can see!!
This is our front door. The actual wooden door is a bit crap and so we need a bit of extra protection.
This is our apartment on day 1.
This is our apartment now after Jen got down to some DIY.
Another view of how our front room looks now.
Skylar's bed when we first arrived.
What Skylar thinks is now her bed!
Our Halloween fancy dress costume created by Martha herself!!

The back of the ipod.
The Off Road Express. She's old but reliable thus far.
Just arriving for the half marathon a little before 6am on a Sunday.
Getting ready (please notice the early signs of a beautiful moustache growing - more photos will follow later in the month).
Getting the necessary info before the start.
Notice the foot attire or lack of! One guy just wore black socks that were half on and flapped around as he ran. He also has a lovely pair of green shell suit bottoms on. Can you see him?
And they're off!
About 5 miles in and having a good battle with a guy called Corey.
Waving at the support team (which consisted of one!)
The battle for 59th place continues.
One of the top 3 lady runners who happened to be bare foot.
Nearly finished but a bit of energy left for a sprint finish.
Finshed with the excellent position of 1st Mzungu (white man) across the line (59th overall!!) with the black sock man from the start about 30 seconds behind. Also the guy with white disco shoes was hot on the heels!
