Starting as I mean to go on by blogging earnestly in the first 24 hours! Back in Jo'burg early this morning with a quiet Sunday drive from the airport. Same set up as last year which is a little disorientating - 12 months have really passed I'm sure of it.
Here for a week doing some follow up work for the project I worked on last year and then to Durban for workshops and training with a new group up in a very hilly beautiful area where I used to live.
Apparently it's been raining every day for ages but the past couple of days have seen sunnier days and maybe a change of season. No sign of the electricity cuts that's been reported on on the BBC. It's so hard to get over the Jo'burg reputation but some things welcomed me back. The taxi driver saying he felt things were improving with the police really working hard to cut crime in the city. A waiter called Acid complaining to another waiter behind the bar. And the sales are on...

Hail
While the rest of the group are working on their stories in Orange Farm I've been in town trying to get stuff done. Except there was a power cut for several hours today probably because of the rain. Well not rain exactly - I got hit by hailstones when I went out earlier. Rather confusing.

Meetings and Rain
It's been raining on and off all day and I cant decide whether I should get an umbrella or a mac-thing. So everything will be damp til then.
Meetings and planning - that's been the last two days in a nutshell.
I had a meeting with Ayi, Matthews and Moshe yesterday. Matthews and Moshe are two photographers who Ayi hooked me up with. They will be working as support facilitators on the project helping the group create their digital stories. Very exciting to make these connections between people. It'll also be fun working with people with so much creativity and energy.
And today I'm hoping to meet mike the Reuters photographer who is keen to participate in the project as well - running a workshop hopefully.
And lots of planning - workshops for this week, the schedule for the next few weeks.....
