A weekend off
I had almost forgotten how it is to have a whole weekend off.. But it feels good! Now I'm actually out of things to do for the moment, so ended up in my livingroom in front of the computer..
This week has been really busy, every day coming late from work, not able to do anything but sleeping on the sofa and waking up knowing I have to prepare teaching for next day.
So yesterday Siv and I celebrated the weekend eating ugali, onions and tomato, while watching two movies. :) Today I've been to the hairdresser, cutting my hair and at the same time getting a manicure and pedicure.. A bit luxury after a hard week..
And crazy things keep happening, I guess by the time I return to Norway nothing will surprise me anymore. The other night I woke up at 3 am, from a man running outside, screaming like a mad man. Later I found out that this was a very stupid attempt of robbery. Some men had been sitting by the pool since the evening, and in the middle of the night stealing one of the chairs by the pool, obviosly seemed like a good idea. The only problem was to get the chair over the tall electric fence, but of course another superb idea came to their minds; "We just cut the upper part of the fence!" But I have to admit I didn't know electric shock could cause a man to scream like that. At least the guards had no problems finding him!
When it comes to the moving we have decided to live on the safe side of Nairobi. After someone had dumped the dead body of a woman just outside our workplace, the decision wasn't too hard.. Now we have been out looking at several houses/apartments, still without any luck, but not giving up yet!
Last weekend Siv and I were babysitters for Hilde's lovely girls! Quite a handful, but we all survived, and it was great fun!
My best purchase here in Nairobi has earned a portrait on my blog. My fantastic, hard-working BLENDER! Don't know how I survived without it. So now my plan is to start a business selling smoothies and shakes to people stuck in traffic jam outside my house.. A good way of paying the rent, don't you think? ;)
Mmmmm... Ugali! And of course eating with the fingers. :)
