Inspirational Ideas!

The word of the week at the 'w' place would be; uninspirational.

I would rather write reports in my lunch hour than go to the hot,stuffy, uninspiring staff room...isn't that incredibly sad!

So, I have been thinking about all the things I would do if i didn't need to work. (I am trying to be (a little) realistic, so have held off listing all the APT World Tour matches I would go to!).

  • I would have a flat stomach! I would go to yoga every Monday and Friday morning and run every other weekday morning!
  • I would start taking golf lessons again, once a week.
  • I would play tennis more regularly.
  • With all the exercise, I would be able to go to have lunch at Rocks and Roses (a cute cafe that closes at an inconvenient hour, so not to allow those that work go to it).
  • I would make sure the ice tray was always refilled...for my G&Ts that I would have whilst I played scrabble!
  • I would join the PTA! (Actually...I am not even sure I would do this if I had all the time in the world!)
  • I would empty my last box that I got shipped from Kuwait. What is in that anyway?
  • I would PLAN my gallery/coffee bar.

My 3BTs
  • The Fashion Modelling Club went for a walk on the catwalk at our morning assembly. I think this made everyone smile!
  • Reports are completed and being printed.
  • An announcement from the Ugandan government, Monday will in fact be a holiday for Mayor elections! I let out a loud scream in the staff room!

s'more safari

My safari in February now seems like quite an age ago, but it is always nice looking back at photos.I realised that I have jumped around a bit with my previous safari posts, so I am going to try and go through it in a bit more of an orderly fashion this time.

The last RUT (Robyn's Ugandan Tours) experience was five days, so we did a wee loop around western Uganda.

Our first stop was Mhingo Lodge at Lake Mburu. So beautiful. No real chance of seeing big game, but lots of hoofed animals; antelopes and zebras, breathtaking views and great food. Kerry (my very important client) and I were both very sick but we still managed to fit lots in

We were lucky enough to gain another safari buddy, Nick, for the trip. He was then able to drive (and stop!) for us on our journey West.

Our next stop on safari was camping at Queen Elizabeth National Park. We only went here for one reason, to spot lions! So as soon as Kerry and I were better we set of on the hunt.

We also saw lots of ele bottoms at QENP

After all that hard work we deserved to be pampered and went to the newly opened Kykinga Lodge near Fort Portal.  As soon as I arrived I wanted to stamp my feet and scream, "You can't make me leave!".


We did leave though.

International Women's Day

Today we celebrate women. We celebrate being a woman and having beautiful, fabulous women in our lives.

A lovely day.

It is a holiday in Uganda. The only other celebration I know by the governement (apart from the day off!) is a talk on maternal health.But I wonder how many feasts are being cooked today, byyyy..?
What about celebrating the freedom of expression? A thought.

My 3BT -Sleepovers, killer runs and pretty, long dresses.
  •  I enjoy having my own place, but it is so nice to say goodnight and good morning to someone. The bed is now messy and the flat is empty; Jane has left.
  • A killer 1 hour 50 minute morning run. Not a beautiful thing really, but I am stronger for it. A nice thought.
  • It is a holiday, the sun is shining and I'm off to play in a pool and wish my friend a happy birthday. My loud dress says all of this! 
As I am in the mood for celebrating, tonight I will make pancakes!

Happy day!
