The last 7 days...
So Jim has been with me for almost a week, wonderful company, his last
night ended up with a night watching models rehearse ahead of a bikini
fashion show in a stunning venue, hotel, restaurant and bar by the
beach called Mediterraneo. That was the end of what has been a
brilliant week, with lots of company. He left Sunday morning to catch
the 9.30am ferry to Zanzibar.
On Monday, we both met Jack McConnell's friends. Claire MacDonald and
her husband Donald. Donald was here on business and Claire connected
with me on Facebook.
She had been in touch with Jack and mentioned her apprehension about
coming to Dar. I sent her the piece I wrote on Dar which was published
in the Sunday Mail
and also sent her some links on things to do, places to visit, etc and
I was thrilled that she came out and I ended up spending lots of time
with her.
Apart from being super company and super cool, it was so lovely to
have a Scot to run around with! Oh and an Irishman too!
We covered lots fo ground, both metaphorically and physically.
In no particular order, here are some of the highlights ( pictures on
FB )
A visit to Kivukoni Fish Market, the Botanic Gardens, Kariakoo,
appearing in a pop video, Indian meals at the Badminton Club, drinking
baby coconut milk (nutritious and delicious) and prepared
with a 3ft panga, that's a big knife to you and me! Took a dala dala -
only 300 shillings, a taxi costs 15 000 into town..saw my first ever
rainbow here in Tanzania, it rained everyday ( thank you for bringing
the rain Claire )
had drinks at Slipway, bought Tanzanian dresses which Jim negotiated a
great price for, was given a gift from C&M which was just what I
needed, covered lots of ground on foot, chatted non stop and in
general, loved having them here. Spent lots of time with Claire as
Donald was working mostly. Have agreed to visit them with Charlee at
their home in Melrose.
All in all, a great week, only interspersed with major stress for 48
hours with regards to my visa and flight, which I don't want to
revisit in my head or bore you with!
Loking forward to catching up with Claire and meeting her family and
her dog Zak in Melrose, when I am back and also nipping over to
Zanzibar to spend some time with Jim
before I head home to rehoe Charlee, sort out crap and see my nearest
& dearest!

Bridesmaids..
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1478338/
Never been one, had 3 though and I LOVED this film. Watched it twice
this weekend.
Actually watched parts of it with Jim over 3 nights and watched the
entire movie again last night.
It was funny, inisghtful, very well written and I laughed so much.
It was produced by Judd Apatow who also worked on Knocked Up, The 40
Year Old Virgin and stars Kristen Wiig and Rose Byrne and a
whole host of excellent players.
Its touching and funny and its truthful. A must see! I know I am
probably late in getting to see it, I am in Africa after all.
Girls will love it too, we can connect wih each of the female leads in
some way and sorry, I am a sucker for a good male lead
and the bloke who plays the Irish cop is ace and the ending..
"This is the first time I've seen you look ugly, and that makes me
happy!" Ha! great line.
Definitely see it if you can!
