Walking out inMnaranito watch the Chelsea vBarcelonagame to have 5 people I’ve never met each say to me‘Tomorrow night’ with a fist pump. Most people inMnaranilook at me like the plumberresponsiblefor messing up the heating system, so to be known as the Arsenal Fan is pretty fantastic!! Figuring out that some scope volunteers I work with are as motivated in work as a moody teenager is to learnLatin.Sunday’s’ hangover – Lets just say ourVSOChandover meeting‘threw-up’ some interesting items. Sorry Emma, Cocky and Wayne. I’velearned my lesson the hard way, from now on I vow never to volunteer atVSOCagain. No wait, that’s not it, I promise not to turn up hungover…no wait, I promise not todrin… forget it.Now, a picture special:Only kidding, notthat kind of picture special, here we go:This is the street I walk out onto from my house. This is heading towardsMnarani'High Street' and onto the road that leads toKilifi. Half way up this road are the three places that show all the football.  If you move a little closer to the screen, listen very closely.....you might just be able to hear the kids shouting ...JAMBO.Right, this is where that photo was taken. My bosses house is to the right and my house is just the other side of where that blue roof is.Infact, that tall tree over the blue roof, is right beside my front door.And this is my pad below. The ladderisn'tmine. It belongs to the builders, you might of heard me talk about them? The window on the right is my bedroom window, the other window is the sitting room. And that isKataconerworking by my front door finishing off something are other. His name in Swahili means (get this) - the man who is at the corner.  i.e. so when you need him, he disappears around the corner!!And welcome to my crib. To the right my sitting room/ dinning room/ study or sheltered furniture-less space - take your pick.  And then my kitchen - why on earth the gave me one of these Idontknow.I'll put up more in coming weeks. Ok, hope all is well at home. Take care,Colm
