Yeserday the locked the restaurant they forgot we had book! The curtains were off the rails new design look.The most impressive is the sunsets at Blanyre sports club they are beauitful. Hard to beat the sun going down in Africa. Today I am taking it easy as I talk that much my batteires need recharged.

Lucky Number

Belfast to Blantyre..

Valentines was 2 weeks ago. I was just thinking I have come along way from Valentines night 1977 in Belfast Wellington Park hotel when I met my valentine who took me to Malawi. Who would have thought that chance meeting would lead me to Blanyre. Life is about taking risks some dont work out some do. I like to take risks sometimes,if it doesnt work out and no-one was harmed then I try and learn from it. Of course if it does work out you may find yourself in paradise... I wonder what risks Mrs Doyle takes maybe she will try out a new tea aw on on!

What do I look like?

How do we describe ourselves??? My friend said she had cornbeef legs, I thought we have such terrible wasys of describing our bodies. For example, I have a head like a sieve, eyes like pissholes in the snow, teeth like tombstones, a mouth like a souer, tongue sharp as a razor,croaks like a frog, laughts like a hyena, turkey neck, hair like rats tails, legs like tree trunks, arms like twigs ( made that up) two left feet, hands like putty, fried eggs for boobs (if you knew me thats not true) pot belly (thats true) but I like it! lies like a cheap watch!cauliflower ears, arse the size of a house,behaves like a bull in a china shop, has no heart or soul. If you were from another planet, sometimes I think I am, you are an alian, what would an alien make of the human form. Lets me kinder to ourselves and others. Banish this language from our vocab.There is the emotinal vocab, broken heart, to sweet to be true,eyes like saucers, puppy love,(there is no preventive medicine for it) turned on, turned off and we have no knobs, that we speak about! by another alien or something we see such as an ormament (sad). So dont speak badly about yourself or others. Love that body of yours. Thats miss goody twoshoes for today.

If in doubt this means No!

Have you ever had a niggling doubt, and then despite that gone ahead, and wish you had listened to your inner voice. It happens to me all the time. However, today I had a doubt about going to Namitembo I didnt see the reason for it, of course I could always find one but that is not the point. So I cancelled the trip, and it felt good. I know it was the right decision, as I did other things that needed my attention, failure to have done them would have been disappointing to some people. I would have then been upset with myself as I dont like to let people down. So if in doubt this means No, practice this and your life will be simplier. Thats what I think. I am feeling tired now I think it was the Don pedro it had whiskey in it. I dont drink whiskey, feeling the effect. early night. Living in blantyre with the heat makes you tired. I love going to bed, any worries I have I leave them outside the bedroom door, so I feel refreshed ready for another dizzy day, who said I was blonde?

glasses found

Its early in the morning postman pat postman pat.gosh I am glad those days are over, singing nursery songs, there is a season for everything. I taught in a nursery school for 15yrs which was great fun. I just cant get rid of the nursery songs in my head! Its not a bad complaint, be good when I ever have grandchildren.
Just had fake nails put on they look nice. I dont think I will have then again they are not made for typing. Yesterday we went to see some of the people we had trained and they were doing a good job, so I am glad the course was useful to them, and I found my glasses.
went out for dinner with one of my favourite people, girlie talk always the same subject.....had a Don Petro was delicous.
Off to Namitembo toda y 2hours drive see how everyone is.

can't find my glasses

I cant find my glasses, got sore eyes. had an interesting day. remember I said I was going to visit the teachers who had attended my workshop, to see if it helped them. Well some had taken on board what had been said the rest should have stayed at home, and gone on a tea making workshop instead. Its ok, I don't take it personally, 4 agreements and all that! The people who had listened they were doing a great job and felt motivated and inspired. I was visiting nursery schools in the townships were most people live below the breadline. Some of the nurseries were a credit to the staff, others should have been closed down. When people don't care regardless of what they work at, they should leave, and do themselves a favour and everyone about them. Its such unhealthy option to take, even if one needs the money, its soul destroying. I realize its not everyone who has a choice so sometimes we have to do the soul destroying jobs, I wonder did Mrs Doyle ever feel like giving up?
