A Mzungu who loves Kenya

  • Panic in the Garden

    Posted: May 22, 2010, 9:42 pm by BabaMzungu
    I have just been called into the garden by Nyanya Mzungu who, apparently, had caught a snake! More curious than worried, I ambled into the garden to find her with a flowerpot and inside was ... a slow worm, not a snake at all. I would guess that it is the same one that the dog caught last year as it had obviously lost its tail at some time. A creature of habit!

    Well, it is 10 days since the UK elections which did not produce an overall winner, and it is a few days now that we have been presented with a coalition government. David Cameron and Nick Clegg have cobbled together a government from their two parties and are getting down to the business of running the country. But now, as there is no Labour government for the press to snipe at, they are trying

  • The End of Democracy As We Know It?

    Lifted unashamedly from Witterings from Witney This post may be considered presumptious and egotistical, but it is one that I feel has to be written, so with those caveats - here goes:I am of an age that some still have to reach and having reached that age I hope that in those years I have acquired a wisdom that those younger than me still have to attain. In my life I have seen many changes, some

  • I've got a GPS!

    Posted: May 6, 2010, 5:19 pm by BabaMzungu
    I acquired a satnav or GPS at Christmas. I wanted a particular make, apparently the only make that is compatible with a South African digital map organisation, T4A, which is steadily mapping the whole of Africa, but this make is more expensive than the others, so I was forced to get the base model – no matter. So I happily played around with it, pressing the various touch-screen buttons, and
