18th Feb
I hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. They spilt up me and my beloved; sending him to Nias and leaving me to attend a conference on Sustainable Household waste management. Which translates as how to deal with other peoples toilet effluent! So I spent the 14th Feb listening at ground breaking ways to treat, dry and transfer human sludge. How romantic!!
Medair is actually leading the way in a closed septic system for individual households. Its much more common to see open septic systems which contaminate the high water table. Ours even has a treatment garden where plants such as bananas and papaya help to break down nasty bacteria before it’s released to the environment.
I did get to spend 2 days in a posh hotel eating lovely food, drinking decent coffee and trying to talk intelligently about sanitation. Off to Nias island soon where things are a bit less civilized.
Thanks for everyone that prayed for Chris last week. He was taken ill at the weekendwith suspected malaria. His temp was very high nearly 39oC so we gave him the malaria treatment. He is much better now and back on the biscuits to replace all the pounds he says he’s lost!!
