Rwanda trip

I have been doing a lot of soul-searching over the past few days thinking about how to keep in touch from Rwanda. I have finally come to the conclusion that I will have to take my laptop. I tried out an I-pad and I had a good play with my phone, but it proved so hard trying to post a photo, I almost lost the will to live! In the end I thought "Why waste half your life when it could be so much easier?". It isn't like my laptop is hugely different in size to an i-pad anyway, and I can do soooo much more with it.
The hotel has free Wi-fi, so I might as well make the most of those evenings. I'll be skyping Steve and Meg to make sure they are being good! You can take a look at where I am staying here.
Monday to Thursday we are in school with events early each evening. On Friday we are visiting the Akagera National Park. On Saturday we are hoping to pull in a visit to the Genocide Memorial Centre and the Capalaki Craft Village before setting off back around lunch time.
To be perfectly honest, I'm feeling a bit scared now. I am sure I will be fine once I get there and I don't regret agreeing to go at all. Let's just hope I can get through the week with as few insect bites, gippy tummy and sunburn as possible. I'm taking a small pharmacy with me!
Well, I'd better go and get tea ready. Thanks for looking!

Still no computer!

Apparently my old PC is not giving up without a fight so the date for my new PC to be up and running is now Saturday morning. I am getting real withdrawal symptoms now! I keep going and opening the cupboard and staring into it and sighing!
Saturday is going to be very busy, as Meg has a rehearsal in the afternoon and a concert in the evening for 'Science on Stage'. The best way to describe it is a mixture of songs, dance and scientific experiments following a theme. Meg and her friend Samantha are singing the opening number, then joining the choir for the rest of the concert. It is at the concert hall in Nottingham. I don't know who is more nervous - me or her!
I will try to announce the blog candy winners on Saturday when we get back, but it might be Sunday morning! Keep your fingers crossed for Meg and the computer!

Being quietly frustrated!

As I said in my previous post I am currently very quiet as I am having a super new computer. I have put it all in the hands of the guy who sorts out our computers at school, who knows what he is doing (unlike me) and is really lovely (not a geek) . Unfortunately, as it didn't happen during the Easter Holidays, he is working on transfering everything for me in the evenings. I am therefore going to be without it for a few more days. I am posting this from my work laptop, which is ok, but I always feel guilty when I use it for personal stuff.

Anyway, I have made a couple of cards this week - not for my ten lots of ten, but for birthdays of mates. I have loaned my cake stamp to a friend and needed some cakes for a card. Funky Fairies came to the rescue! The papers and digi stamps on the first card can be found as free downloads on their inspirations blog. The second card uses papers from Creative park with the same digistamps from Funky fairies. Two virtually free cake cards! Thanks Funky Fairies!
