A long absence

I can't believe we're back in Uganda already and I only found time in England to write one lousy post. So here is a summary of the last few weeks. This is where those time-efficient bullet points come in handy!
  • It is a shock having to look after one's own children. I am not sure how anyone manages it back home. Either I am fundametally lazy, or Uganda has spoiled me. Feel free to speculate!
  • We did A LOT of socialising, all of it enjoyable and somehow involving food. There is half a stone more of me here as a result. I would be on the rice crackers and cottage cheese...if you could get them here.
  • Although we did a lot of socialising, there was still not enough time to see everyone. (Sorry, PF, are we still friends?)
  • We did lots of work on the garden. Actually, Rob did everything, I called out encouraging things from the kitchen.
  • We intended to clear the loft, but nostalgia overtook us and we ended up putting 90 per cent of it back.
  • Major change has occured in Tooting: Primark has become...TK Maxx! Marks and Spencers has become...Primark! And Woolworths has become....Poundland! (Not much change there then.)
  • Despite being grey, rainy, overcrowded and full of miserable people, I absolutely love London. It's home.
  • Gloria had her first filling! No more fizzy drinks and neat Milo powder for us and
  • ...it's my birthday today. Thirty-six and still hot!

Glad to see the updates... though can't believe the changes in Tooting. I lived for the M+S ready meal and wine deals there!

Hope you had a great b-day...

Sorry to hear of the troubles in Kampala... thinking of you all.
