between then and now

From our blog silence you may have thought that between Ghana and now we have sat at home moping. We have a bit, but we have also been busy now and then, but just feeling too bleurgh to getting round to posting a blog about it


OEA meal at Hotel Ricardo - a huge paella dinner for 25 of us

Fundraiser at ICCV - a library project for in Ouaga

Lon learnt how to put out fires with the rest of the embassy as part of a team building day


Nev went to the vet a few more times to deal with an infection in his claw

we got the dining room table refinished - as the water damage was so bad from the last leak (plus ten years of general abuse had left it looking a bit sad)

slight panic when he started sanding!
all shiny again
we taught the cats the art of synchronised snoozing


I successfully made alloco - Lons favourite fried plantain

we had a ladies dhosa brunch courtesy of Geeta


Nev turned 4!
 
Sint and the Piets came to get ready to celebrate for Sinterklaas at our house





and last night we went to celebrate St Lucia with our neighbouring Swedes


my hair is getting long!

I LOVE the kittie piccie!! And Nev's paw! Is that the same one he had problems with before (or is it not even the same cat?!) Wow 4 years - where did that go?! I remember the baby kitty photos!

Table looks good.

As always - its the cats that get the comments! Hope all is well - silence is not golden - we rely on you to brighten the dull days of winter [and others too]. So no pressure there then!!
