Lists, Sex and the City, and selling a car!

As time gets closer to leaving it becomes a bit harder to find "interesting" things to write about on the blog- perhaps because these days my life consists of lists- packing, selling, moving, staying, giving, etc.

This weekend I went with some girlfriends to see the Sex and the City movie. It was fabulous!!! So great that I am going to see it again on Thursday :) Thank goodness for cheap movie tickets in Kenya!

Also the big news is that I have been trying to sell my car. It is a 1986 Pajero (4 x4) with a new engine, so on the inside it is in great condition, but on the outside it looks a bit beat up. Anyway- I have had a few people come look at the car. One British guy who arrived here 2 months ago stated "this is in terrible condition, I wouldn't pay more than 250,000 KSH for it"... umm thanks dude. Little does he know that he won't be able to buy a car here with doors for that price! Yesterday I had another potential buyer come to look at the car and she test drove it, liked it, etc... then I said to her driver, "Why don't you try it". So he sits in the front seat, and voila- the car won't start!! Stupid battery died. I just had to laugh at that point- what else could I do? She drove out of my parking lot faster than the British guy, BUT I will continue looking for that prospective buyer that likes the little 86' Pajero!

Hi Amanda,

I sent an e-mail for your birthday and just checked out your "blog" to see what you were up to. I had to laugh about the battery being dead; sounds much like Roland's story with the boat that he sold. I don't know whether you ever got to read the e-mail he wrote about that episode.

Again, Happy Birthday, and your blog is great.

A hug,

Helga
