That means Mozambican Women's Day, 7 April, and it also means that every restaurant and barraca in town will be crowded with noisy sororities dressed in identical capulanas, dancing and ululating. I well remember this day in 2004 when I was working for Cruz Vermelha de Moçambique and had travelled to Nampula to do some staff training. Quite a few of the staff agreed to come in on the public holiday and we had a very successful session, all accompanied by gleeful ululation from the ladies in the Centro Social next door, from midday onward. Typically for me, this year I'm celebrating the holiday by repartitioning the main database server and watching progress bars creep across screens as all the databases get re-created. This office is a lot quieter than the CVM one.
Please stand by for a post explaining what kept me so frantically occupied in March. There are supposed to be photos, though, and I still haven't been granted an opportunity to sit down with that camera and figure out why this machine won't download them.
Sleep, eat, write, configure server, sleep.

It has been a while since your previous post but I often see that your recent books have changed. Am I right? Feel free to recirculate the Falco books.
