17 April 2011: Here in UK everyone seems to have started holidays – Easter next weekend, then the royal wedding. I passed through London yesterday and it was so crowded i was quite stressed! Trains, underground, more trains ... The other day a friend and I went to see the Titanic Artefacts exhibition of objects found at the bottom of the sea. As you enter you are given a boarding card with a real passenger’s name on it. At the end you find out if you lived or died. There is also an exhibition of 3D TV – still using glasses, though.
Also met three old friends, (not looking old, I must say!) from my Nigeria days. One in Brighton, two in Dublin. Train and boat still the most civilised way to go to Dublin, and very cheap.
A lot of reminiscing about the time we were all in Mubi. Some old photos to look at.
18 April: The streets and gardens so beautiful in a warm sunny spring;
21st April: in contrast back in Uganda it is rain, rain, rain. Good for farmers! I think it is the contrast in weather coupled with a freezing BA flight which has given me a cold or flu!
