So, Linda has now been here for more than two days, but it feels so much longer. Weird how with good friends you just take off from were you left last time. She arrived safely on Friday at lunch time with Maria, Heather and I as her welcoming commitee. I am so so happy to see her again and be able to show her my life here. So far we have done a lot of visiting grocery shops, we've had a picninc at Hillside Dams with Sam, been total nerds when it comes to my new phone and her ipod and also spent a whole night up LAN-ing (Playing networked based computer games) with Heather, John and Ian. That's where we are now. Tired as anything.
The week before Linda came was suprisingly busy, with holiday, work, walks, cardgames, playing at a wedding, visiting the National Arts Gallery and skypeing. The arts gallery was really interesting; we went around to all the studios that artists rent there and met them and saw their work. Some of it very modern actually. Also, if you think you have heard creaking floorboards before, you should have heard the ones in there!! You couldn't even talk normally, because nobody would hear it.
So, now we are trying to plan out a bit of an adventure for Linda and I while she's here. Looks like we will be walking with lions on Tuesday anyway, and maybe riding elephants on Wednesday.
Maria is sick with the flu now, which sucks and I hope we don't get it. It's going to be interesting and nice to have a true vegetarian in the house for a month. Lovely. Now I think a nap is in order. nellieinafrica.tumblr.com is pouring out pictures at the moment, so you can check in there if you want to. Toodles!
