Museum
My lovely fiance surprised me with a trip to the museum the other day. Maybe that doesn't sound romantic, but I like museums, and Lusaka's is very good. Lots of interesting stuff about the country's history and culture, and some great art (see below). Sadly, the signs stipulate that you can't enjoy a tipple while viewing. Oh well.
Out and about

| Good to know there are options if things don't work out with me and Atkins |

Is it not a bit pessimistic to include funeral expenses in car insurance?

PE lesson
So my PE lesson finally happened. LessonS actually. I started with the 3 year-olds. Cute but manic! They can't keep still. Or concentrate. Pictures below.
Later I ended up with 90 13-year-olds. We did aerobics, freeze tag and octopus, and I really wished I had a whistle. And that their teachers hadn't disappeared leaving me out in 30 degrees and no shade with 90 children who were TOTALLY over-excited. Great fun though.

A sweaty lesson
The rains have declined our polite invitation to visit. They pop in now and again, but most of the time they just taunt us by making big piles of clouds that don't do anything. So not much rain in Lake Kariba, so still lots of power cuts.
And it's hot! 30 degrees most days, and humid, humid, humid. Sweaty, sweaty, sweaty.
And you know what you shouldn't do in that kind of weather? Try on jeans. I don't know what possessed me. As soon as I put one leg in I realised what a terrible idea it had been. There was a lot of pulling on, and the tugging off, and sweating. And I didn't even buy them. I feel a bit sorry for whoever does because they're going to need a good wash...

Suit shopping
So after going past this blingy number...
We found the perfect suit, that just needed a little adjustment. The tailor came along to advise, and ended up running a tutorial for myself, Atkins and several other passing shoppers on what makes a suit just right!
