Just around the corner

8.30am on a Good friday morning, still in bed. The building shook us up, like an earthquake, not that i have ever experienced earthquake, but ya! thats how i felt. Not knowing where to go, how to jump, which direction. Straight to the window, saw a huge dust that covered the whole street, if thats how i could describe it. What is going on? looking at my little boy who is sleeping and his Father who was sleeping in another bedroom, i ran to wake him up. `something is happening, wake up!` He woke up and we all went to the window to look. People from the opposite apartment are starring further than our Hotel/Appartment. Phew! Then this means its not where we were.
A 16 Storrey Building has collapsed and buried about 60 people. most are construction workers, some were children playing next to the building as it was a holiday and kids were home and some were just people passing by.

It has since been a sad day for my family as we were frightened by the incidence, not mentioning families and relatives of the people covered buy the rubble. Much as we had plans to go to the beach to relax for the whole day, my body was tired and my stomach was turning. Finally after 2 hours , picked myself up and we left the building, just to be away from the ambulance sirens and big trucks to load the rubble. On our way to the beach we met some army soldiers rushing to come and rescue.

While we were away driving the day, The president of Tanzania came with his wife to sympathize with the families of the ones involved, which i thought was humane of him.

Imagine you...

Imagine you...
- woke up hungry like I did today?
- had Un expected girl -friends who decided to pay you a visit?
- your mother I law who was passing by, just to check on her grand kids ?

As for me, I had no intentions of making breakfast today and no intenstions of dressing up to go and eat in a restaurant . Mhhh! What is Internet for if I can't get food online, especially breakfast. I never thought of that. Do you think there is here in Nairobi ? silly me...I'm sure there is. As I finish my conversation with myself I took my iPad and started searching.
Hello  ! There is!  www.hellofood.co.ke

Oh ! by the way they have a free application for iPad and you can follow them on Twitter.
All I needed was to register and start ordering what I wanted. And I didn't want the Kama kawaida as they say it here. I wanted to do it my way. Where I will peak and mix like I would scrape my fridge. So , this is what I ordered

- scrambled egg with a slice of bread
-fish fingers
-and green salad
This was just perfect for me. And click / confirm order.
Two seconds later , someone calls from a hello foods to confirm the order, yes it's mine! (I'm impressed). Wouldn't you? This is Africa ! They told me how long it was gonna take, about an hour as the restaurant was not open at the time I called.
Here comes the motorbike with my breakfast, and still warm.
Now let me do my critics lol,
Yes it was warm and I was exited to have my breakfast at home ,but, my egg soaked the bread, yak! Since I was a kid, I never liked a soaked bread. I wish they could be another way of serving it without the egg being put on top of the bread and covered with foil. ( separate the two) please.
