kin hell

I have just spent yonks writing something really interesting and witty and have lost the lot because I am an idiot.  Well being as I now can't be doing with writing again the hilarious yet serious posting about being wined and dined by our load of nutty mates I will en devour to just upload some pics and you will just have to figure the rest out.

this was the cake of cake because it had no bloody egg and I could eat some

This lady is very mad and always dresses like this

These two look quiet enough but they are the worst kind...as soon as you turn your back they are up doing very strange dancing known as 'casting shapes'

This woman is dangerous and you should not approach her unless you have a large glass of wine to appease her.

This couple recently go married and are always kissing....how awful is that...

the man in the stripy shirt was captured some time ago, he has given up hope of escape and is now fully brainwashed into the hippy ways of the mountain women

don't let the air of respectability these exude fool you, the one at the back is a well known local male stripper, the lady with her back to you has snuck out of nunnery up the road for her couple of pints of campari and lemonade, the two in the front are fraudsters of the worst kind, dealing in fake old masters and 

blaming their wind problems on the guy in the stripy shirt...who by the way is a bad criminal type from the East end....

finally a word of caution about these dudes, the one at the back has a gun and is not afraid to use it... the geezer looks harmless but just look at his shirt....yes he really is Dirk Diggedy the 70's American sex icon and purveyor of smutty underpants...the lady in front is actually a social worker who just happened to be going past she is really nice and is lovely to everyone..

feeding the donkoloids one last time before we go

suffio fi!

Getting ready

Well the creation of this blog is one of the many things still on my list of 'to do's' before we leave, I am pretty chuffed to have this one sorted though as it means we can stay in touch with you guys while we are on our adventure.
We have been pretty busy of late, James started his sabbatical this week and he has been pretty full on till then...unfortunately he now has some DIY chores to do before we clear off. There aren't that many....honestly. He also has to tinker with the vehicle of vehicles...our Toyota land-cruiser. I still haven't had a go at driving this yet but it is imminent so stay clear of the roads in North Wales. We have started to have our jabs, this is proving interesting due to James'  M.S. and my egg allergy. It means James can't have his yellow fever jab and when I have mine they may have to tie me up. heh heh heh....
I am still working at present and hope to finish all my stuff by end of August.
My lovely daughter is due home this month for some fuss, I plan on saying my very tearful ttfn's to her just before we go. I may need an operation on my tear ducts. Still haven't persuaded her to join us out in Africa for a holiday ah well I guess the pull of city life in Cardiff is more interesting to a 19 year old.
Right that's it for the first post...off to make James a cuppa.
