Missive from parts of Africa

A light hearted and sometimes serious look at moving 6000km into a place in Africa: April 2007. Promoted back to South Africa, the missive will continue to track my foray's into deepest Africa as and when I get there.

Final Week at old Job - and who is gonna do the shopping?

Well, the final week at the old job has started and hopefully I will be able to offload the goodies off my desk. I cannot believe that so much new work can be started in ones last month of work. Well thats life I s'pose.

On a lighter note, this weekend was to take my lad out shopping so at least he knows what to buy when I am not there. I have visions of iceys and fast food with no cleaning stuff or almost healthy food in the house. Well to say it was an unmitigated disaster is been optimistic. Some more training will be required. I enjoy shopping and cannot understand why others do not.

I must admit when the lad had to cook last week while I was running around in another (closer) african country, I had preview to what was on the menu.

ME: "What did you cook for dinner rob"
ROB: "pies"
ME: "pies and what"
ROB: "no, just pies"

Considering the pies come out of a box, and requires 20 mins in the oven, I would have thought he could have at least done Smash as well........

ROB: "did not see we had smash dad"

This might help with his weight loss programme.
