2nd August 2011. This morning Evan and I went out on a play date – and it was only just in time. I’ve been on my own for over a week (Mark being in Nigeria) and not had any plans or seen anyone and was officially sick of my own company.
Evan and I have been on a few outings to play areas, the club and to feed the giraffes at the Giraffe Centre nearby – but considering he only has 4 words in his vocabulary, he isn’t much of a conversationalist. So it was perfect timing that a Finnish woman I met before we went on holiday was back from Finland and we met her and her two kids for some playtime this morning, saved me from complete isolation insanity.
But the most exciting news ever also came through on email this morning. Just when I was starting to lose faith in it ever reaching us, our container is scheduled for deliver on Thursday. Yeehaah, Yahoo and Yay! I cannot wait to have the house full of our stuff, to see our pictures on the walls, to have more than one pan to cook with, for Evan to be reunited with his toys, to watch TV on a big screen, to have a freezer – the list is endless. It is going to take quite a bit of work getting it all unpacked and sorted, but I cannot wait! Lucky Mark is getting out of unpacking as he’ll miss the delivery still being away until Friday evening
And then, to complete the picture, my car is officially here too. I’m not sure when I’ll actually get it, but at least is in the same city as me. Who knows, maybe by the end of the month after 5 months in Nairobi, we will actually be completely sorted out? It could happen…
That’s all in terms of news – just wanted to share my delight and joy with you all. Will send news and pics when everything is in and we have a proper home again.
Happy happy times xxx.
