A Week of DOOM and GLOOM

There have been no posts this week...purely because there has really been nothing to write about...having returned from Kigali on Saturday, I spent the rest of the weekend at the house...and then went to the dreaded Monday meeting which was actually in ENGLISH! and only last 1 hour! I guess people didnt have as much to say in English as they do in Kinyarwanda! Anyway...I made it to lunchtime...but I was feeling mighty poorly and sorry for myself...I went to bed when I got home...and stayed there until Wednesday lunchtime...when I dragged myself out of bed and to the office...for a change of scene more than anything! On the way I was nearly run down in a cloud of dust by a huge lorry with 6 men lined up and hanging onto the back door...presumably hitching a lift! Once at the office I successfully managed to book flights for my mum to come and visit in April...Zanzibar here we come! The best news is that she has a 46kg luggage allowance...just think of all the nice things she can bring out! I was cream crackered by the time I got back home so I went back to bed...I just about made it through yesterday (Thursday) but only thanks to the ElectroGas man...you know those moments when you look at someone and immediately...as soon as you see them...you know...you are going to laugh in their face...unfortunately that is exactly what happened...well...to be honest it was not my fault at all...the man was dressed like a fool...ok...so, tall and quite skinny...bright blue ElectroGas overalls...tucked into sparkling white wellington boots...which had clearly never seen a puddle in their lives!...on his head was a white bandana (to match the wellybobs) and the outfit was finished of with a pair of aviator sunglasses...so...stupid as he looked...it was in fact the highlight of what was a pretty miserable week! boooooo!!!!
