Nairobi, Kenya

Today was an interesting day, i went to the office with my mind preoccupied, and it remained so all day. Today was also the real first day after my computer crashed and was restored. i am feeling like i am new at my place of work, with data worth 18months lost or partially lost. Grateful for an investment i made in an external drive 120Gigs...men that's some space. over and above saving my music was also able to do a random back up of my stuff. though not so current but it at least has quite a number of useful files

Just a though to all you out there...for a second think of what would happen if you lost your laptop or computer. This felt like being in a fire! for real, when you survive but lose irreplaceable stuff...like mementos that you collected in your travels around the world.

Spent the day fighting on email which i hate but i have sat back for too long and at this point it is being mistaken for complicity so no more this week of letting people get by with murder.

I am just coming up to completing the most interesting history novel that i have read so far: The Assegai by Wilbur Smith. Very interesting that this book is based on precolonial Kenya and places i know like the back of my mind, some courtesy of my long lost friend Sapati who still happens to be a neighbour of mine.

Its the end of another of my days and i am tired and my eyes heavy. Glad to be alive and living in this moment
