Lockdown hampers shopping

So, I'm busily preparing for the trek to Nuristan and also manoeuvring around the chaos that is Kabul. Somehow we had neglected to realise that by bringing the trip forward by a few days we were then slap bang in the middle of the Kabul conference; the massive international meeting of world powers being held here in Kabul to discuss the future of Afghanistan. The whole place is in lockdown and here, where we are in Wasir Akbar Khan, there are tanks, armoured gun vehicles and soldiers on every corner, there are NDS, ANP and ANA all in their different uniforms and nobody is going anywhere - except for to Spinneys, that pinnacle of supermarkets which is staying open despite everything. Rock on those groceries!

Last night I had to be rescued from my place by PM and Tariq who drove across town on a mission to spring me from my place and bring me back here. I was sad to leave my rose garden, the five kittens, two tortoises and multiple rabbits who were out and scampering about on the volley ball court. S and M and Leg Roll were discussing which of the rabbits would be subject to the cull that they were planning; several of the rabbits were pregnant and a veritable bunny population explosion was threatening. It was a shame to leave the tranquility of the garden, a freshly white washed wall was to be used as a screen for showing films and the guys were getting ready to enjoy the lockdown with a film or two, comfy cushions spread out on the lawn, a barbecue and some good wine. I, on the other hand, was headed for the compound and a paddling pool on the roof...

I'd foolishly underestimated what would happen here with nobody travelling and the shops being closed for two days. Being all so very last minute I've got a ball gown being made in Qualaifatullah and some ethnic tops I wanted for the trip. One day I'll learn not to leave things to the last minute.... I hear what you're saying about priorities and seriously, I probably shouldn't be worrying about a ball gown right now, but still, what's a girl to do? It's certainly been an interesting process having a dress made here, as I mentioned before, they just don't do natural fabrics so my cunning find of some raw silk in AWWSOM was a precious one. My first round at the tailors produced a reasonable skirt, it fitted well and my only criticisms were that they'd glued a random panel into the front of it (heaven knows why) this had marked the silk at the front, and from where they had been working there were dusty paw prints all over the white silk and it would need a thorough dry clean. It wasn't bad. The top however was more of a circus with a bust that would have fitted Diana Dors and some handy ruched panels at the sides that they were very proud of but which I could see would need to be instantly unpicked as soon as I got it home. I wondered why they didn't go for the concept of making the item in rough, having a fitting with me and then making the final fitted product. I felt bad that they'd made it all but would now have to unpick and re-sew a lot of it having grossly overestimated the size of my bust, it was either that or the fashion here was totally 1980's bustier - given the dresses that I'd seen displayed (brightly coloured nylon creations that would have had pride of place in a Barbie doll's fairy princess wardrobe - I imagine that this was one of those clashes of style moments that I should have anticipated.

PM told me last night that he had heard several loud bangs in the distance - apparently I was engrossed in the computer and heard neither the bangs nor him telling me about them. Repeated rocket fire on the airport... and us waiting to fly out of there. I'd had several email updates on the progress of the vehicles and thus far all was going well, they'd not had any problems and we were still on target for our rendezvous up North. We found out a couple of days ago that there is still a lot of snow on the pass and the horses won't be able to go all the way over. We had planned for the horses to carry the bulk of our kit (and there's a lot of it) so now, when their little hooves can go no further, we'll be lugging it over the pass ourselves. The image of a straggly band of people labouring through the snow at 16,000 feet comes to mind but seems so very remote and painless as I sit at my desk in Kabul - I know it's going to hurt but I just can't imagine it right now.

In deference to the Kabul Conference, the airport and roads surrounding are completely closed, so many important people arriving, amongst them Hilary Clinton, who, when I saw her on the TV, looked ever so much like a man in drag. PM had horrified me with stories that she was partial to a little reverse action, especially with young men, and I just couldn't get those images out of my head when watching her despite the fact that what she was saying was reasonable and not totally outlandish. Most of the time I listen to politicians on the TV with an autistic head on, you know the kind of head where you can instantly tell when someone is lying through their teeth or is simply delivering a foil of bullshit, liberally peppered with terms designed to disguise that there is absolutely nothing inside the hot air that they are spouting. If you squint your eyes a little and just listen to the words, the child or the dog inside you, the bit that is innocent and can still tell the difference, will raise it's ears and say, "That person is offering me what looks like food but when I go to eat it they will grab me by the paws and squeeze me til it hurts, best I don't listen to them". So I am torn but find myself switching on the TV to listen to various puffy people talking shit.

Luckily for me, instead of boring politicians, the headline story is of a love sick baby platypus: it's the BBC reporting from Sydney, Australia, where a lonely platypus has swum into a sewage plant, "This duckbilled juvenile had taken refuge in a large pipe attached to a tank and it was feared that this amorous semi aquatic, egg laying mammal might have suffered hypothermia...." but then it's back to the Kabul conference and Hamid Karzai is there swishing by in his distinctive striped chapan. From a hotel room in Kabul, Lyse Doucet is there doing her best to level out the crap and get some straight talking from the various bigwigs. Bernard Kouchner is with Lyse and as ever, she has my admiration for being there, brilliant and professional, I can only hope to follow in her footsteps.

  2. I do not know Karen..... she does not know me, but I have followed her blog with interest, admiration and humility at her sincere concern and desire to improve the lives of her fellow humans on this planet.

    I hope the people that perpetrated this crime are held to account by not just their God, but by the people in their midst for whom Karen showed so much love and caring.

    I am not religious, but whatever God looks down upon us, Karen is now receiving all the bounty of that Divine countenance

  10. I just saw the news and found Karen's blog. My wife is an eye doc too, and we've talked about taking humanitarian trips to do eye medicine in the future. The courage and compassion of Karen and the others on this mission was enormous. What a tragedy.

  13. I follow Jesus and I feel a real affinity with Karen, as she was compelled to altruism much in the way that Jesus was and his true followers are. She also liked 'Soca' music which gets me dancing every time. Karen died living. I mean truly living. Not like the proverbial ostrich, but as one striking at the Goliath of social injustice with whatever she had in her hands. The "blessed in the West" are self-trained to be blind to the needs around them. May her example awaken us from a banal slumber and cause us to live simply so that others might simply live; and foster selfless ideals that demonstrate love in action.

  14. It takes two moments to realise that Karen is a lovely woman, someone who will be missed by all she knows, all the more from the pride they must feel for her.

    It's hard not to hate the low life criminals that killed her, and hope that none follow her. But it would not be the reaction she would support.

    'getting' them and all those similar who infect every country of the world has to be the aim. No stone should be left unturned, be they religious or criminal, to remove these kinds of people from the planet.

    No good person want them or their cowardly souls.

  17. What a tragic waste - so many years of training, so much knowledge, so many good intentions. All wiped out by inhumane killers who have no interest in the suffering of the needy around them. My condolences to Karen's family and to those of all the other aid workers involved. My heart is heavy at this terrible news.

    ReplyDelete
  18. This is unbelievably sad news, an overwhelming loss. Just reading this one post reveals what a smart, caring, gentle, and altruistic woman Karen was. Why is life and the world so unfair? What does a senseless killing like this create, except grief and anger? My deepest condolences to Karen's family, friends, and coworkers.

  19. RIP Karen. I wish I was writing here for another reason - because you were inspiring, because you went out and did something that so few others would even think of, because your smart and funny comments about life in Afghanistan have made me think, and they have made me smile. Not because you are gone. My condolences to your family and friends, and those of the others who were killed. What a terrible loss.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
    How you suffered for your sanity,
    How you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen, they're not listening still.
    Perhaps they never will...This world was never meant for one
    As beautiful as you.

  33. Just read all of Dr Woo's posts in this blog and gained an insight into a remarkable person, who lived her too short life to the full.

    Lessons for everyone here.

  34. Rest in Peace, doctor. Though I cannot understand how a liberal female doctor, who gave up a life of comfort to go serve the poor in Afghanistan, could say such horrible things about Hilary Clinton. Sounds more like something a Republican male, maybe a soldier, would say. But that matters not. What matters, was your service, and your noble death, which reminded us that we still have much to fear from the evil ones. May we never forget.

  35. Having read her entire blog and various associated articles, Karen is clearly a complex, beautiful, humourouos, caring and dynamic lady. Sex in the city meets Medicins sans fronteieres. As a fellow Doctor I can relate to her undoubted dilemmas and admire her grace. Her informative, humanisitic and well written blog surely will inspire others. I salute and honour her.

  45. Karen was our upstairs neighbour for two years. She was a genuinely lovely person and the news of her tragic death has shocked us both. The work that she and her colleagues were doing showed a genuine care for humanity and those in difficulty. Our thoughts are with her family, friends (and those of her colleagues), as well as those who continue to do the most difficult work in the most challenging of circumstances.

  66. I don't usually pay too much attention to these awful news stories, other than to shake my head and feel bad. But somehow this time I was motivated to learn more about Karen, and I wish I had known her--such humor and compassion, such joie de vivre. I am so sorry and feel for her friends and family and fiance, the searing pain of her loss. The world is a little darker now.

  69. In another time before the Internet, we would not have had the chance to get to know someone posthumously, as some of us have with you, Karen. I have just finished reading all of your blog entries and I only wish I had discovered your writing when you started last December. I can't help but feel sorrowful that you now have so many comments on here, after your death. Where were we until now? Your death saddens me beyond my own belief, because I never had the pleasure to meet you, but as some others have echoed, you displayed such grace, such selflessness, such courage and such optimism in a place that seems so difficult and often hostile, strangers cannot help but love you and miss you now that you are gone. May you have found peace at last and may your loved ones find the strength to go on. Thank you for your example. You have inspired me more than you will ever know. love, Margaret

  74. Dr. Woo's tragic death reminds me that the word "hero" gets thrown around too readily nowadays, as per the following quote. But she qualifies.

    Thanks for your example, Doc:

    I was not the only one in the section guilty of suppressio veri over the night’s work, but Stanley had a much more creditable reason for his reticence.

    He had been in the o.p. [observation post] with Wells, and when Jap arrived they had cut out for the [barbed] wire. Stanley had made it into the perimeter, only to find that there was no sign of Wells. So he had slipped out again, without a word to anyone, when the fighting was at its height, into the Jap-infested dark, to look for him. By sheer luck he found him, near the o.p., dying of bayonet wounds; there was no way of helping him, but Stanley had stayed with him; he could have sought cover himself, but he didn’t. I supposed he brought the dead man in at dawn, but my informant – who was not Stanley himself – wasn’t sure of all the details: he had only learned the bare facts months later.

    I lost touch with Stanley after the war. We served together for most of the rest of the campaign, and he is one of the few men of whom I can say that we literally fought side by side (that came later), but I never knew him well; the picture of the tall, quiet, fair youth is not as sharp in my mind as that of Grandarse or Nick or most of the others. But whenever I hear the word “hero” loosely used, as it so often is of professional athletes and media celebrities and people who may have done no more than wear uniform for a while, I think of Stanley going back into the dark.
