Dolphin-fin


Here he is, enjoying the palm trees of Oyster Bay in Dar es Salaam! I went on 3rd March, and on the way the vehicle I was in overturned completely and rolled back onto its wheels again. We all survivied with minor injuries, but the vehicle looked very sorry for itself and wouldn't drive after that. The rescue vehicle took a while, but thankfully we were able to get to Dar the same day. I collected my ten year old Daihatsu Terrios the next day and am calling him Dolphin-fin because he has extended the scope my life and I had lots of lovely swims in the Indian ocean that week.

Next day Elizabeth had her hip replacement in Dar, so I was able to spend time there in the hospital together with her family while getting a tyre change and service done. She walked the next day and is slowly developing that skill again.

It has taken me this long to get back onto my blogsite, because I had some difficulties with connecting to the internet. They are still not sorted out but I am borrwing a friend's laptop again...
