Joy and more joy

Friday, August 26, 2005
The things that give me joy are so many and varied , blogging for one, kahawa, Southern Comfort. My family probably is the best of all joys- I have blogged about this before on my nieces and nephews. I have a niece who is going to be one on Sunday. She is the got the sweetest smiles and a laugh that gives me the giggles, she is at the age where she repeats words like "pop your collar", thank you and is even saying Habari and mzuri sana all this is in baby talk by the way. When Mshairi calls and finds me here she wonders, but this is a treat.You tell her (my niece not Mshairi) to piga makofi and she does it. I could write a book about it but hey this is a blog.

ASANTE SANA & THANK YOU

MJY well done and I did not threaten you, I used the sweetest words to plead , beg and beg again. This is just brilliant. At least Mshairi will stop complaining about the colours that I use once again THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Pain

It is never having the time to do the things you want to do... in my twenties I saw Tina Turner's body at 50 and I thought that is the kind of body I would like now... In my thirties it has having the body but never being content....When I was eighteen my body image was so bad and the Kenyan girls had a their conversational piece and it went like this-
"Hi so and so you have lost so much weight."

Two minutes down the road you meet your arch enemy..

"Hi so and so you have put on so much weight."

It got to a point where you were on a yo-yo diet with the number of times you heard lost or put on weight. Right now I know where I am with my body at ease and at comfort with it and that my body image is balanced.

Pleasures

Hello MJY, my lovely niece the number 1 niece......

This is a not a wish list for anything, but moving into a new house has made me wish for some many things but with everything I want to pepper my wall with books and there is one particular one " A Short History of Ukranian Tractors"
A DAB radio, until I was twiddling those knobs on the Medium Wave and there I was looking for the World Service and Radio 5 Live and I was transported to the ether and enjoyed that scratchy tone.Anyway Uaridi thank you for the one I have already!!!!

Birthday

Thursday, August 11, 2005
My birthday was on the 31st July, to all who have wished me a happy one thank you. My brother texted me and he wanted to know how old I was like he does'nt know- I texted back saying that there are some women who when they reach a certain age they stop counting and they stop telling. If I am going to age, it shall be disgracefully........

My nieces and nephews did a wonderful spread for me though I did not turn up where I was supposed to on Sunday but instead they surprised me when I turned up on Monday. There was a wonderful chocolate cake which sadly I did just take a bite of. I love chocolate, dark not white, with or without nuts but a chocalate cake I am not easy with. I hope I did thank them and it was really sweet and touching of them to do this for me. Nieces and nephews can be so sweet and nice. MJY I am sure you know you are included in this loving blog.....

MJY ata ukitoroka and disowning us sita sahau.. girl you owe me. That is the problem of making promises. If you have lost my password I can email it to you.

Documentaries: there are some documentaries that leave me so cold and half the time I want to tell the investigative journalist now that I know what would you like ME to do about it. Examples are You and Yours on Radio 4, any more of this
