More pics from Tio's visit

Because of the bad weather, we spent Tio's day over indoors... but we found loads to do. played Scrabble.... I won, followed by Tio and Lou... well, what can I say, she still speaks Zamglish....!!!! I got clobbered on the playstation games, 12 years of IT meant absolutely nothing!!!









And then, I got a kiss... just for just!!!!
Or is she buttering me up for something..... She is only 8, so it cannot be a car.... What do 8 year old want thats not cheap!!???




The Sunday, was a better day but it was still quite chilly... we went for a brief walk down the leas and the Lou took Tio back home.... I am looking forward to her next visit and maybe then I will find out what the kiss was for!!! :)

Tio's birthday present unwrapping..

She arrived and went straight for her birthday presents.... If I were her, I would do the same thing, why waste time with pleasantries....
its not like she can be kicked out for not going through the motions....












A Playstation.....









A Scooter..... but the weather was lousy... so the playstation turned out to be an excellent idea










When all the present unwrapping was done and she was satisfied that we had met her needs until Christmas, she took some time out to laugh at some of the pics on the Blog...

Chil and Lou's birthday outting

We went to a nice restaurant called 'The Living Room'

Not too sure what needs to be said about this besides, putting names and short descriptions of who's who!!!!






This is Jay and Catherine, Chil's best friend and his wife....




Louisa's old friend Jomo (on the right) and his friends, unknown male (gate crashed his way to the dinner 'Zambian style') and Vivianna.










Pamela and Merina, she is Mako's fiancee, they are due to tie the knot in September, Mako's picture is below...

Now we have known him (and his family) for about 17 years... very old family friend.












All in all a very good night. I think we got back to Chils' place at about 3am...

Pamela's visit

A couple of weekend's ago Lou and I had a visit from my sister. She just had to come see where we lived.... Make sure we are both okay and accessible. One would think she were an older sister......




She gave the kitchen the obligatory inspection....









The seating met with her approval too.....














She has promised a trip up when it is warmer..... Bikini and all.....

more from Courtney's party

I was an innocent observer,,, even though deep inside, I was hoping someone would have been kind enough to ask me to have a go!!!!!









































Needless to say no one asked me!!!! Stingy Wenches.....

Courtney's birthday

In February I went to Zambia via Malawi. The trip from Lilongwe was done by road, after about 9 hours on the road we got into Lusaka and what did I find....


Chantelle playing with water and balloons....






Then... wait for it..........its for a Birthday Party.... and it was a sleep over.... Yah!!!!! Ohhh, what a Happy Day.......








It turned out to be Courtney's birthday sleepover party.....







and I enjoyed it.
It was a good day all round. Just ask Chantelle, and we were all sober... :)
