It’s been a few days since we blogged, so it’s time for an update. We’ve not been idle, but we’ve been doing things that aren’t really photo-worthy. So this is a pot pourri of snapshots from the past few days.<\/p>\n

On Friday we found Mary sporting a T-shirt she’d got from the scrum on Thursday, and looking very pleased about it.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Saturday and Monday we had downpours just before lunchtime.<\/p>\n

\"02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday, Angelo (the largest of the puppies) was off to his new home with a cousin, so he had to be shampooed.\"03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Catherine had come to get help in completing an application form to be an au-pair in Germany, but ended up picking fleas off Angelo!

Handover – kwaheri Angelo<\/p>\n

And then there were four.<\/p>\n

\"07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday night I went out for a drink or two with Tina at Club Lambada in Mtwapa (so I wasn’t very impressed when Jacob got up at 5 on Sunday and started housework!)<\/p>\n

On Sunday we went to Mass at Barani and Bomani, the two southerly outstations of Kikaambala (both pictured before). In both places (as at Vipingo last week) there was a big fund raising push to help the Diocese pay off its debt.<\/p>\n

After lunch we went to the beach with a youth group from Kongowea parish – unfortunately, few from Kikambala turned up. The water was full of the remains of fishing nets – Natasha and I did our best to clear up so that we could swim.<\/p>\n

\"08\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"09\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The youth played games on the beach.<\/p>\n

\"10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gillian, the local representative.<\/p>\n

\"11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Group photo<\/p>\n

\"12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the way back we stopped at Sweetwaters Pub for a soda – Maggy and Gillian insist they are the Tangawizi Twins, it’s not Tusker!<\/p>\n

\"13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Monday was spent at home, with me working on a web site for Okoa Jahazi (you can see the early progress at http:\/\/okoajahazi.asimons.co.uk) before heading to a very wet and muddy Mtwapa for shopping.<\/p>\n
