Pretoria
Fact: The 'Innovation Hub' conference centre in Pretoria has no means for delegates to get online using their own laptops and one - 1 - desktop PC for general use. Needless to say, it's the one I'm hogging.
I'm skiving off from a few sessions at this research managers' conference (a little bit of a yawn, but good for business) to bring you this message of dispair and frustration.
I found out yesterday that my mobile (for no apparent reason) is refusing to accept overseas SMS. So if you've sent me something, consider it disposed of in the giant waste paper bin in the skies. Ok, so maybe I shouldn't buy discounted SIM cards in future. But a SIM is a SIM surely?
Secondly, however, and doubly infuriating, my new email address (that ends in research-africa.net rather than the old ending) is not being forwarded properly to my Outlook. So I've missed god knows how many messages from colleagues, sources, and most distressingly, friends and family.
To be safe in future, send to my old email too...
Pretoria is cold, hardly ten degrees, although the skies are bright blue. In cape town, it's projected to hit 30 degrees today.
Driving to interview a key source tomorrow afternoon, then going back on Friday morning hopefully in time to have Friday afternoon sundowners with my colleagues at the waterfront. That's the life.

Kel... enters room. Says hello. Wonders what she's doing here, but as ever is intrigued to hang around a bit. Coughs. Leaves quietly.
Speak soon?

Kelly Hi! Can't speak really as phone costs a fortune but email is the way forward! Lx
