A dullish day of planning, centered around treating clothing with permethrin, scoring drugs from the french welfare state, getting emergency repatriation insurance, downloading podcasts, and struggling with an audiobook by Paul Theroux, Dark Star Safari. Audible delivered a frustrating customer experience. Strong bullet on morale.
