Fleming Foot in First!

We are such softies here, and at home for that matter.

You will of course already know that because of my previous descriptions of plumbing or lack of it here in Rwanda. However, our softiness is getting worse.

When we arrived at Solace that heavenly guest house here in Kigali, we were allocated to two rooms in the office building rather than our very favourite rooms with the superb view of Kigali.

We were both disappointed, and when Roger found out that his plumbing was sadly deficient (that is his room plumbing - not his personal plumbing - sorry Rog!) it was a perfect excuse for me to ask if there was room in the main building.

Callum would be mortified we thought - but we still asked and last night I was informed that there were two rooms available both with verandas.

In my room!

So first thing this morning Roger got the keys, reccied the rooms and gave me my key. The rest of the day has been spent having a go at him  - the scoundrel got the better room, in fact the room I had in August!

Here he is showing me the fabulous view. As if I needed to know about the view - it even has a golf course.

Rule number one, always, always , always get your foot in the door first!

Other happenings today:

• Roger got lost on his taximoto to Garlics great glee!
• Met Kirsty McArthur, found out she likes Kigali Beer, and arranged to take her out for meal on Friday, with friends and perhaps Denise also.
• Safari and Emmanuel chased us around Kigali, and finally found us at the site - that what happens if you are late for appointments with F and G!
• Spoke to Callum back home about the costs of the Project - they have risen quite a bit - suspect we are going to have to make a strong appeal to all those interested in the College - watch this space!
• tried to Skype Fiona for first time, with no success.

Tomorrow we gather our thoughts about all things construction  - summarise costs, prepare construction agreement, meet Paul, and plan the key actions we need to take in the next few days.
