My new Home

-83 Loresho Cresent, Loresho-

sunny 25 °C

I have finally managed to find my self a more permanent home!
From now on Ill reside on the abowe mentioned adress! I am to share a house with Claire and Matt a couple from England, Matt works for Save the children mainly with Somali refugees in the north of Kenya and Clarie works for some WWf like organisation (she is to spend the nxt 4 weeks counting animals in Masai Mara..)

The house (pics will follow I hope) is a lovely one storey bouilding set in a wonderfully old garden with all kinds of tropical plants. The actual household concist of Matt, Claire, Me being the Muzungus, Kipangi the Askari (guard) our house lady (whose name Ive forgot, 2 great dogs + some chicken. Kipangi is an elderly but watchfull fellow who stays on the premisses from 18.00 to 6.00 in the morning helping the dogs guard the premessis. Our houselady does all the cleaning, washing etc inside the house as well as managing our tiny kichengarden.
The area Loresho is reputed to be one of the safest in all of Nairobi, both muzungus and locals live here, but all the people are pretty well of.
Transport to and from the embassy might turn out to be a bit tricky, but just this very day Ive been looking at a car that I probably shouldnt but probably will buy..
(a suzuki LJ80 from 81..)

Well its weekend and i really havnt got any wild plans.. Ill probably have a sundowner later on, to morrow I might do some shopping to make my room a bit more "homey" and sunday the rich upperclass are hosting a carshow on the nairobi Racetrac..
Take care in DK!
