The Weekend and Beyond

Ah another day has come to an end, the dreaded Monday is now over, oh how I wish weekends could be three days!!! Oh well seeing that that will never be, we should just enjoy those little fun moments of life. Saturday evening was a delightful one, and a very wet one also. After getting some rest from late afternoon to early evening the family and kids had come over to visit. I really enjoy the time they come over, the house comes alive, and also because they themselves are busy during the week with school and their after school activities, so is a pleasure to spend time with them when we all are free. So after seeing them of and having a light dinner on my own, I did some preparations for the Sunday fair which I was going to host.

After a late meeting with friends for coffee it was back to the house and of to bed. An issue still that was on my mind was the same one from the post earlier on Saturday, whereby I felt I was unable to fulfil a request from a friend, hence the feeling of being a let down. As individuals we try our best to do what we can when asked to do something, but sometimes there are those extenuating circumstances that prevent us from doing so. Friendship to me is very important, it is something that I hold very dear. Over the past year I have come to learn some of the worst characteristics that people could have, and the kinds of things that people you consider close friends and confidants can do to you, with friends like those, nobody needs enemies. But that’s a separate issue, people like that teach us the harsh lessons of life and make us appreciate our true friends even more. However my feelings on the issue were baseless, everything worked out fine at the end.

On Sunday was trade fair day, and yours truly was the host. We were worried about the weather though, and we were not wrong because it did rain, however I felt the fair went of well. I have come to change my opinions about these fairs, instead of questioning the lack of initiative on the part of the community to come up with something new, why not commend those who bring out these ventures to help others to seek their livelihoods from thse types of fairs. Yes I do know of many people who onky take stalls at the fairs in order to earn an income, so we should support them. Going to these fairs has become a common thing with me, and over time I have got to familiarise myself with many of the stall holders, there is always a feeling of recognition and affection at these functions. It was also after a while I got back on stage, so had to work up the courage and get back up there. Put on the dark funky glasses as a way to hide the face, funny hey how we want recognition and yet we want to hide at the same time… quite confusing. Oh well such is human nature, we want everything at once. At the end of it all, it was a good day that was spent in a good environment with good friends, there’s not much more one could ask for.


Now it is late, and this mind needs a rest. There’s a lot on its plate at the moment, something I would share with you later. Right now though I shall take my leave. Good night and pleasant dreams


My love and more
