| November 20: Retire Imelda from
active service. After close to 6 years of service and almost 6 different
OSes later she is beginning to show her age by forgetting things and
creaking at her joints. But I shall keep her around for her wisdom
and guidance. This is the only lady that I could read like a book! November 23: Corporate dinner! The good thing with the end of the year is that one gets invited to all sorts of get-togethers, parties and such. Which I don't mind at all! Roast beef and potatoes shall be dispensed with ruthlessly and finally I get a chance to show off that I know what a fish knife is! November 24: Visit to Children's home in Hurlingham. If it is anything like the last, I shall get my hair pulled, my shins kicked, my shirt tugged and my back thrown up on. However I shall get to go down on hands and knees and be ridden like a horse, I shall shamelessly play house and soccer with the kids and have myself a merry old time. It shall be fun! November 29: Eve of the eve of my Birthday! November 30: Eve of my birthday. You'd better have my presents ready and gift wrapped! |

I find myself more an more subsisting in an attitude of reminiscence that makes me long heartily for the days of yore! Innumerable years ago the idea of attacking the neighbourhood watchman en masse was quite feasible as far as my five year old mind knew. What we lacked in size and strength we made up for in sheer numbers. A least or so I thought. It is only after we have been scattered hither and thither with blows from his fists and kicks from his boots does it dawn upon me and my hapless band that our plan was quite flawed.... However we did get our own back thanks to some resourceful feller whose name will forever be obscured by the sands of time. This gent secured a tube of super glue and this substance (with more of it ending up on our persons than wanted) was applied liberally to the watchman's truncheon, stool and cap while that gent was attending to the call of nature. To this date I remember the colourful language that gent used when he sat down upon his stool, put on his cap and discovered the hard way that cap was attached to head and stool to backside by a bond even stronger than maternal love... |

I have always admired Sherlock Holmes (if you don't know who that is then you, my friend, are a cultural, social and intellectual backwater!) and I always thought that his skills were neat, if not practical. At least until yesterday, that is. It began by a simple invitation by a dear lady we shall call N. N is who recently graduated and and in true spirit decided to have a little get together for a few friends to commemorate the occasion. Personally I see no reason to turn down offers of roasted meat and all the soda that I can drink so I arrived dead on time bent on an evening of banter and sustenance. OK, I lie. An evening bent on sustenance. The dazzling smile I meet at the door I assume is in recognition of my presence, new shirt and prospect of my good company so I give a congratulatory hug and proceed indoors to greet the rest of the guests. Being the slow chap I am at times I take N's continual popping up at my arm suddenly as a testimony to my good cheer. It is only after an hour of unsuccessful hinting that N finally asks if I notice anything new about her. Now this is one of the questions I hate to be asked, right next to "Do you think I'm fat" and "Do you think she's prettier than me". Why do I say this? Because no answer you give will be correct. If you don't speak at all you are still in the wrong. So I look over her from the top of her head to the tips of her absurdly high heels and before my mind has authorized the transaction the mouth has smugly announced "New shoes!" Well! Not only were the shoes not knew (it turns out she's had them for close to a year), my second guess (new carpet) was dismissed with a snap of the fingers, my third (new dress) caused arms to assume the akimbo position that breaks the resolution of any man, but my fourth and final guess was stifled by the simple process of a hand across my mouth. I was informed (in the following order) that: I am a good for nothing I am no good at all Did she mention good
for nothing? I am a typical shallow
and non observant man! Do I need glasses? (Decide that to inform her
that the dark glasses on my mug also double as regular glasses would
be unwise) Can't I notice anything
new? Am I blind (Again
decade that inquiring how, if am blind, I can notice anything new
would be unwise) Do I do this on purpose
(Do what? I cry out to the heavens) I am a pig (Therefore
is my thorough enjoyment of back bacon and gammon ham partaking of
the flesh of my brethren?) I should not have
been invited (Wistfully eye the platters of mbuzi arriving at the
table) Will I STOP
looking at the meat and listen to her? Must things be written
down for me to read (My mouth wants to say "Of course" but
my mind moves faster and stifles it) I am a useless excuse
for a human being and deserve to be taken to Kamiti for a few days
at the mercy of the inmates before being shot in the knees and allowed
to watch the vultures feed on my blood and flesh By the way, do I
like the new hair?

I would like to thank Me for all the support I have
given myself. I am one of a kind and I admire the time I have taken
to do this when I could be doing other more interesting things like
shelling peas. Let us not forget
Myself for the valuable contribution as well , of course,
as I who is indispensable to this project! There will also be
some people who will want to be thanked effusively despite the fact
that they have contributed nothing whatsoever. But I will thank
them anyway when I can remember their names and when they are actually
looking over my shoulder and I have no choice but to thank them for
nothing! |
