Day 34- 10 days and 10 nights!

It has been a while, no I have not died, nor gotten sick, nor in love, or who knows??

These past 10 days have been quite crazy, they started with a weekend trip to Livingstone where I was blown away, literally and metaphorically, by the Victoria Falls, one of the most stunning and breathtaking views I have ever laid my eyes upon!! Before that, I was supposed to move my things from Kamwala to Woodlands, however, that did not happen, I only went and moved my things on Monday, after returning from Livingstone.

On Sunday, we went out for drinks and ended up going back home at 5 in the morning, knowing I have work with the kidson Monday at 10 and also knowing that I need to stamp my passport otherwise, I get deported or issue restrictions. However, my day began in a frenzy because of having everything, from phone to wallet to everything in his car, eventually he picked up and everything is ok, not getting deported yet! YES!

On Tuesday we went to the school, LHS, and it is still my favourite place in Lusaka and we judged our essay competition and it amasing to see them all grown up and going to get a job, don't you get sad. when kids grow up?

Then the work with the special needs children is really special as they are really obedient and listen to everything you explain or ask them do, which is special and great in i's way! We also did pancakes and origami, maths and a couple of other things but about them later, as I need to get back to work!

Tomorrow night is party time and I hope I wont have much to suffer!

Hope I will be able to update more but the internet here is nothing compared to what I had at my other house, so will just have to deal with it!!! Loving life and Zambia! Never leave me!

10 things I love about summer

Summer  is a lovely time of year,  you have the long days and with a little luck longer, warmer days and sunshine. Why wouldn't one love summer then!? I was contemplating how much I enjoy this season and how busy the days seem to be, of course the British summer isn't as sunny but there are days when it's warm enough and it doesn't rain. Therefore, here are my 10 reasons for loving summer: 1. The feeling of freedom it gives. I know will fade with time because school will end and when you work you don't have 3 months of summer vacation but for now it feels so good to know you have such a lengthy amount of time off every year. 2. The repeating cycle of big changes preceeded by it, every 4 years I start a new chapter in my book, passing from one school to another, from one city to a new one, so I anxiously wait for these rare and random summers. 3. The wonderful hot weather perfect for all those trips and relaxing walks, though it isn't true for all the

Day 17 in Zambia- Chikumbuso again and the Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel

Yesterday was an interesting day as I got to go back to Chikumbuso and we went through all the projects identified at the previous visit, therefore, we moved on into making a clear list with items needed and then to assigning who will get the quotes, the project is progressing and hopefully, soon enough we will be able to move forward and start writing the project plan, in order to have it approved by the RI Foundation. I am back at marking essays and it is wearing me out a little, but today I had a more relaxed day as I couldn't make it to Chilenje and had to postpone it for tomorrow. Did go and do some shopping and have a lovely lunch with Sid. We went for the Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel as he wanted a burger and they make some pretty darn good ones, as I got a taste of his. I went for a mediterranean lunch with a toasted roasted veg and humous sandwich, that was simply delicious. While we were eating, we sat on the terrace and there was a very nice artificial lake, that had,

Another year has passed, with ups and downs

Funnily enough, seems like spring is a time for reflection. I always seem to come back to my blogging during this time, even though I think about often and miss it. I was looking at buying a typewriter and having a go at more regular diary blogs. That is for another time though. Since the last time I wrote, a lot has happened. I will start with the passing of my dad, he aged in a year enough for an entire life and unfortunately left us way too early. He was only 54, I left 3 days after my last post last year, on the 8th April, early in the morning after going to the Easter mass and saying goodbye to him, telling him I would be back in May. A week later on the 16th April, he decided it was time, even before my mom called me, I knew it happened and a sharp pain went through me, even 2000 km away, something broke when he left this physical world and he took away with him. That has been probably the most important event of this year for me. I think about him all the time and I miss
