Break in at Kan'gombe building .... beware of furry creatures ...

...and this is a reason why it's good to be here - an email waiting in the work inbox this morning:


All,

The Common Room "tea time" group feels obligated to inform all CO and LLSO staff members that last night there was a furry intruder on the premises.

Shocking but true ... members were confronted by this fluffy beast that accused all WFP staff members of spending too much time sitting and looking solely at their computer terminals. This funny bunny ... guarded closely by a group of chickens (members were amazed that they could actually talk - and be fully bilingual as well ....) wanted WFP staff to prepare for the long weekend ahead by allowing them - today - the opportunity to look away from their monitors and exercise their necks ..... consequently .... a plot was hatched (excuse the pun - ramifications of psychological trauma).

It seems that the chickens were not just sauve bodyguards but .... producers of delecious chocolate eggs ...... and the bunny .... being apparently a very democratic creature ... mandated that each staff member should be awarded two chocolate eggs ..... IF they can find them.

So ..... please, do not shoot the messengers ....... but ..... the bunny has hidden chocolate eggs within your office ..... I guess these furry creatures were serious about taking the time to look away from your terminal!

Good luck!

Dum dum de dum



On Saturday our house keeper, Dave, got married. I did find this a little surprising considering that when we arrived in the house last September Dave introduced us to his wife and three children. Seems it was never actually official.


Well, now it is, and Dave is sporting the proud wedding band of a married man.
