Welcome to everyday Lets Talk

Have a great weekend Doogs, hope the weathers not to bad, and as LW said take your time and get as much info as you can. Hope everything goes OK for you, I know you've had the problem for a long time.
Glad your nearing the end of whats been a mamoth task LW, you could do with a good rest at the end of it all. As for plans at the weekend. WORKING
WS

Good morning everyone

So pleased things are moving on Littlewid and 10 viewings sounds brilliant, good luck and hope you can get sorted soon.

Poor you working WS - let's hope the sun is honestly the weather is so mixed at the moment, one minute is lovely the next it is tipping down.

We're relaxing and having fun seems to be a lot of celebrating at the moment. Local village fete on Saturday and then a party in the evening for the church and village - so fingers crossed it stays

Sunday I think I shall stay in bed

Have a great weekend.

The weather forecast for here today was completely wron. hey said it would pour down all Day, with high winds. We had a couple of sprinkels, and a bit of a breeze, although its raining now. But its a shame as when people see a forecast like that it stops then coming for the weekend, and hits the economy of the area really hard.
Hope the wheathers OK, for the weekend your side of the hills Lai, and you have fun in the Village
WS

Hi everyone

How you all doing

Hope you had a lovely weekend Doogs and had some good results at the racing and the weather didn't upset the going.....that is a horse racing term isn't it

Had a busy weekend in London, spent all day Friday cleaning and sorting and eventually got home about 10.45pm after leaving here at 8am then on Saturday we had 14 back to back viewings and it poured with rain which was a pain. We have a few offers on the house but we are also having more viewings this saturday and hopefully an antique auction firm looking at some of the furniture, so another busy day saturday and fingers crossed some more interested people.

I'm not a Tennis fan but Wimbledon is here isn't it and true to form it has rained all day here.......is this it for the next two weeks ......I hope not. Are there any Tennis fans on here who will be glued to all the matches?

Furries are all ok, Nero has had a hair cut recently and looks really cute. His coat had got soooooooo long he looked a cross between a black sheep and a mini woolly black bear. He is nearly three but he looks like a little puppy with his short coat.

Hope everyone is ok and has a good week.

littlewid-x-

Glad you had a good weekend Doogs, and on your anniversary, have a great night.
I like the top matches at wimbledon when you have two really good competitors

It's great you've had lot of interest in your Uncles House LW, hopefully it will all be sorted soon. But a word of WARNING LW, if the antique auction firm come looking round keep moving we do'nt want them carting you off to the Auction Rooms, do we

WS

Happy anniversary Doogs - have a wonderful evening and catch up tomorrow.

Lai

Happy Anniversary Doogs. Hope you had a wonderful evening :)

Glad you have lots of viewings planned for the house LW. Fingers it will all be sorted soon.

Got my injections for Kenya tomorrow (well all of them apart from the yellow fever, I'll get that done next month)

Off to see Born to be Wild again on Saturday. Really looking forward to seeing it again :)

for the reminder Anne-Marie, I think I need a top up for something must look into that.

Enjoy Born to be Wild again - hopefully this time you'll be ready for the queasiness

We're hoping to get married at Ngong House so I'm relying on you to check it out not long now until you're off. How are the wedding plans?

Lai

Oh wow!!! I bet that will be amazing!!! I will report back and send piccies. Are you getting married while you are out there this September? :)

I think I'm going to feel like a pin cushion as I need all of them. All the normal ones are out of date. They also advised I had MMR and rabies. Have you had a rabies injection? I thought it wasn't required as I'm not working there? Not going to have MMR as I had mumps and rubella as a child and mum is convinced I had measles so won't bother with that one.

Wedding plans are coming along a treat. 8 weeks on Saturday. Its going to be wonderful. We are so looking forward to going to Kenya! We can't believe how quickly it has all come round

Yes we are - on 24th September hopefully if we can sort out the required paperwork (lots of red tape in Kenya) we've got to fly out early (4 days before we want to marry) to register everything and meantime email it all over!

Honestly don't bother with MMR or rabies - for sure you won't need rabies unless you are planning on doing a Simon King with a rabid cheetah Go for the basics only, otherwise you will be pin cushion!

OMG - only 8 weeks to go that's so exciting. It's such a shame you, Doogs and I aren't all there at the same time, what a party we could have

Will really look forward to all your pics - you'll see so many eles at Governors with it being by Musiara Marsh so take a HUGE memory card

Lai

Going to order a few more memory cards. :) need to take plenty of pictures:D yay hope i get to see lots of I also hope I get to see Shingo with her 6 cubs (assuming they will all still be together then). Although I have no idea where they are in the mara in relation to Musiara Marsh.

Good, I'm glad you said don't bother with Rabies. Certainly not planning on doing a Simon King. And I think if anything else gets me rabies is the last thing I'll be worrying about.

Fingers crossed you will get everything sorted. I'll be back before you go so I will defiantly report back it is a shame we aren't all there at the same time. However we will have a good diary of the month between us

Best thing re Shingo is to check the blogs before you go - sometimes the guides at the camps use other names for the animals but Jackson, Aatish and Paul Kirui all mention Shingo. Wouldn't it be great to see them? If you're there for a few days you'll cover quite a bit of ground so will hopefully see all our favourite big cats

Just found my vaccination record and it seems I only need typhoid this year better check on Pete's

Just talking about it again, has made me all excited

Lai

Seek ,and Ye shall find Final Days update from Aatish

On our last day we decided to go in hunt for the elusive black rhino. After searching for one for days and days, we finally managed to find one on our last evening game drive. We spent about 45 minutes with it and then decided to call it a day.


Shingo and her six cubs were seen the exact same day we were leaving. What bad luck!


I am hoping to be in the mara very soon, hopefully within the next couple of weeks. Until then Kwaheri!

I'm sure Aatish stays at Governers Camp, but I will ask him where Shingo was seen in relation to Musiara Marsh

WS

Thanks for the nudge WS -

Lai

That would be great if you could find out WS. Thank you :) fingers crossed, although what age do the cubs normally leave their mother? Paul Kirui has just mentioned on FB that Shingo was walking towards a pride of lions hope they are ok.

I'm excited too Lai :)

Cubs normally stay with their mother until 18 months - 2 years I think Anne-Marie. Now I've forgotten how old they are so maybe we will all see them

Lai

Thanks Doogs for putting it right, I was'nt quite sure.

Aatish has replied on his Blog AM

@WS - Shingo at the moment has moved from the closed areas all the way towards the Olkiombo area. It is usually about a 20-25min drive from musiara. But knowing cheetahs, by september they could have moved to any part of the mara.
Lets hope she is around during the migration period.

WS

Thanks WS - here's hoping they are around when we're all there.

I used to take Malarone Doogs the very first time I went on a riding safari some years back but never even saw a mossie so stopped taking them, we've got some from last year that Pete took for a few days so maybe this year we'll take them as honestly I do realise malaria is not something to be taken lightly. I think the mossies don't like the taste of me and my sundowners

Lai

Quick catch up -

Sorry I missed your anniversary wishes Doogs so belated Happy Anniversary.

What Im up to: Im working with BLES at the moment to try and help build the Star Medical Clinic. As some of you know LW and I founded Assisi Fundraising and through our License have been selling raffle tickets. So I have been printing, stapling, emailing, posting and have paper coming out of my ears.

Im also making bookmarks, keyrings and the eles in santa hats for the Sales Table.

This weekend I have to make a 2 1/2 ft elephant - DONT ASK!

So busy busy busy - but then when am I anything else.

Roll on two weeks when some sort of sanity will return.

SM

No problem SM and thanks for your wishes

My you are a busy bee but fantastic that it's all for a good cause, well done you Remember if you're looking for some sanity in a couple of weeks time you'd better not come on here

Off on my travels again this weekend, I'm beginning to forget where I stay at the weekend ! Away with 5 friends down to Glasgow to see Take That so can't wait. We've got champagne for the train, meal before the concert and a bus organised to take us there Back up the road on Saturday so I'm sure it will be an early night that night !!!

More dark clouds today and rain is obviously not far away, couldn't tell you when we last had a rain free day Summer, what summer :?:

Take care all
Doogs
