Puff, Stuff and in the Buff

It is August and Kafula’s sports day. The audience laughed every time someone fell over which was pretty often, especially in the under 5 races. The Mum’s race was heroically won by a lady under the influence of at least 5 beers, much to the irritation of the other competitors who had been limbering up all afternoon and stoically refusing the hot dogs

Now and again, Molly and Lawrence entertain. This involves getting other people to bring the cake, and we provide the balcony. Tranquillity reigns...

Maybe because we did not mention the Puff Adder we found on the very same balcony a few days earlier- definitely up there in the most dangerous snakes EVER. It is however slow, so for people coming to stay in September rest assured we had plenty of time to call in the cavalry with big machetes!

Lawrence’s favourite view of Kabwe is this mural, obviously advertising latest Paris fashions in a shop nearby. And the bloke in the foreground was really quite tall.

Lawrence works at Muvi TV – anagram of Music Video no less, which is slightly confusing given the sheer amount of airtime devoted to washing powder commercials. This is their fabulously painted stand at the Agricultural and Commercial Show in Lusaka. Moll’s organisation, now called Restless Development, was also there, under a table in a scout hut- the paint budget was significantly less.

Lawrence is training our dogs to be rescue animals, so he often collapses on the floor to see how long it will take for a response. The dogs generally just maul him, and Lawrence loves it. Molly tries to rise above the whole scene...

But they often interrupt her to get an update on the latest twist in her book Baywatch comes to Zambia in an attempt at an overall tan. Moll looks on, with a smirk as she spies the fishermen on the opposite bank... The best part of the day is a sunset stroll, and at this time of year the sun is HUGE, deep red and you never tire of watching it slip over the horizon.
