weekends almost over

I can't believe I have yet again not done any of the things I wanted to do this weekend. The most adventurous I've gotten was a walk to the Sarit centre, but because I've been going nowhere apart from the office all week it damn near killed me walking at James pace. It's very humid here at the moment as well, which really doesn't help.

My ahrc funding application is done, and I just need to send it to Lisa tomorrow morning. James is going to put it together as a pdf for me on his supercool mac. Then I just have one other funding application to do and all will be well. The other one can wait until I get home though, as the deadline isn't until the 15th March.

I'm going to have to have a talk to Matt tomorrow though, about the Kap Museum stuff. I don't think I'm going to be able to get all the information together in time, partly as I am having trouble getting people to get back to me with whether they have the info and photos I need, or if I'm going to have to search for them myself, which is not the easiest thing to accomplish. I have figured out the basics of how to use indesign though, which is great, only actually using it on the computer in the computer room is a pain in the arse as it is slow slow, a lot of the time it just makes it crash because it seems incapable of running it properly.

I'm also going to talk to Matt about if there would be the opportunity to come back. Partly to finish the Kap stuff before the 'Grand' re-opening. Also to do any other arch stuff that comes along, as well as to do a bit of my own research.

I've spoken to Sarah again. She'd texted Leila a couple of times but I don't think got a response, so she called me. She'd had a crap day up in Eldoret, with 5 hours in the company of people speaking nothing but Nubian, and waweru asking her for money again, which she refused thank god. She really needs to learn to say no more. She's hoping to be back in Nairobi on Tuesday, so hopefully she'll be around before I go to Kapenguria. Otherwise hopefully I can convince her to come for a girly day before I go back to the UK.

Dave is coming back from Nanyuki tomorrow with Kerry, and kimeu who only went up there today. Hopefully he'll be back in time to come with us to the cinema, although it wouldn't surprise me if we don't make it AGAIN, because everyone always has too much to do.

I'm probably going to make a macaroni cheese for dinner this evening, although I'm slightly concerned about what I am going to make it in, as the casserole dishes are all huuuge, but I might just make a huge one and then have it for lunch for days.

Aaanyway, I should probably get some work done. Seeing as that is why I am not off doing exciting things this weekend. Or shopping. I quite fancy a nap though. *yawn*
