we are on lock down!

Today is election day so for the next few days I am shut in the house as it may get a bit dodgy out and about. It is only 11.30am and I am bored, I would normally be very grateful for an extra day off as the last few weeks have been so busy but because as I have not chosen to take time off, I am reacting badly to it! I want to go out!!

one of the other fun things that has been going on for the last few weeks is we have 24 hours of power on and the next 24 hours of power off, which makes doing work very hard. The power has just come back so we are all manically typing on our laptops now!! Well the lads I live with are glued to the laptop watching 24. Robbie brought it back from the UK and we have gone a head of them, so because we did not wait for them we are being punished and have to wait for them to catch up with us, a whole 4 hours so we can all carry on together!

one thing I must do today is back my evacuation bag, we have to just in case things get bad here, we are thinking/hoping thing wont go bad and that it is a peaceful election and we don't have to run to Kenya!

all fun stuff! But the most amazing thing about this week is that I have managed to stay on my bike, I haven't fallen off at all!!! Big achievement!

Hey Jess,

Hope you're not getting cabin fever!

Read in the news that the election seemed to go off without much trouble.

Is everything going ok?
