Laikipia! In a helicopter!!!

How awesome. So Matt just rang me, he wants me and Matua to come with
him to Laikipia to do the first phase in a project of which the second
phase Dave is going to be running (oooOOOOooh!!!) about which I have
many things I would like to say, but never mind. So I have to pack up
all the equipment and go and buy some food stuffs for us to have one
dinner and one breakfast camping. Oh and all the camping stuff as well.
So that should be pretty cool. Oh and we get flown up there in a
helicopter. *squee!* How exciting.
So, suggestions on what tasty and easy treat I could cook with a couple
of pans and a gas burner in reply please!!! :)

Otherwise, the last couple of days I have spent reformatting the BIEA
computers. I'm pretty much done but there is one computer which hasn't
finished windows updating, and another which I have been unable to set
up on the internet as it doesn't work in the computer room. I'm going to
have to have to finish installing the virus software when I can connect
it, as well as all the other programs which require an internet
connection to install, and also make sure it is running all the windows
updates and stuff. Hmph. But I should get about 5500 - 6000 ksh for all
of it, so that is good. That will help with all the pressies and stuff I
want to buy before I go back. I'm also debating insisting on going to
Laura's site in Western or not now, because if I go to Pokot with Matt I
will insist on a day at either Sigor or Lomut market, or whichever is
the best according to Leila. Cos I want to get a fair amount of shopping
done there. Where things are much cheaper!!!

So, umm, yeah. Last night I didn't do much, just chatted to a load of
people online which was very lovely, for the most part! And then today,
as I couldn't do much more on the computers, I went to the Sarit centre
at lunchtime to send all my postcards. Apart from two, one of which I
somehow forgot to write the address on, and the other I had to buy in
town as I had run out. So I'll probably just do another trip in tomorrow
afternoon to post those two. Cost me a fortune though. Crikey!! I had 11
which I sent today, and then another 2 tomorrow. But luckily they are
small ones so they shouldn't be too expensive.

So, tonight I'm going to make spag bol again. I have some spaghetti
left, and mince isn't too expensive so I figure i should have some meat
in my diet. Arse, my laptop seems to have a virus. Where it came from I
don't know, I just checked it this morning!!

Best get that sorted then, and then go and charge the GPS-es, and write
this blimmin report on the Uganda Museum.
