Woa is me!!!

Well what can I say ... ONLY IN AFRICA is so old hat now ... but I just have to let you know the rest of this weeks challenges :::: :-)

2nd cos internetlessness was 1st, the municipality (aka council in other parts of the world) very kindly informed us that we would have no water yesterday ... well we had water all day ... but today we have had no electricity again ... (in case you're wondering how I'm writing this TG for laptop back up ... will post as soon as I become active again on the Internet !!! so don't take too much notice of the times of posting, cos yesterday post said I did it am and I actually did it in the pm, but had started the post in the am CONFUSED??? yeah me too ;-D) We have decide that the electricity department must have ran out of notifications so they borrowed a couple from the water department PMSL!!!

3rd - as we have been here a year now, needless to say my car licence needs renewing ... I get the notification for renewal (which is due 31st October 2009) and it says I have to pay a penalty for late licencing ??? (go figure ??? !!! WTF???) I go to see the 'very competent and heeeppy folks' at the Dept of Transport (think in a slow, African accent!!! ;-O) OK here we go = seems I have to pay a penalty for my DRIVERS LICENCE because I did not transfer my licence from UK to SA in the specified time (which is ???) I speak to the very helpful (and I mean it seriously this time)! Mrs Abrahams.. who also don't understand what's going on ... but suggests I contact the H.O... and see what they have to say ... SO they say they don't know what's going on either and Mrs A must apply on form # C91 for this fine to be taken off !!! I ask the stoooopid question: will this mean every year I will have the same problem ??? and guess wat "EEEH I don't know!"

4th challenge of the week and probably the most upsetting and stressful of all ... I will be internetlessness for the duration of the time I am on safari !!!! How are you all going to cope without my updates ... who will be able to entertain you as much as I do??? I am sure I will loose a huge amount of followers if I don't brag about the fantastic time I am going to have in the BUSH!!!! (when my computer crashed last time the Geek didn't restore the program that lets my computer talk to my cell phone ... so I can't get data bundles, cos my phone won't talk to my computer and it is all PAUL's fault cos he don't know where the back up disk ... is so blame him !!!! (oooooh :-D and the poor guy ain't even here yet !!!! )

But I will write a diary and then post it all on the following week when I get back sooo don't think you're gonna get away without all my boring waffle and of course all the lurvely photos of all the lurvely wildlife ... (oh! Ann maybe you won't be liking the lions up at Entabeni !!! Nan told me yesterday one of the the herds of Giraffe had a little baby last week and sadly at the weekend the carcass was found of baby giraffe !!! Bloody lions ... Law of the Jungle ... Kelsey said why couldn't they wait for me ... what was he gonna throw himself at the lions to save the baby ??? Don't think so !!!!
