Progress...

Ohhhhhh

I'm filling in my blog from work - In Nigeria! I'm also feeling perkier today compared to the last few days. I've arranged to go and view properties in Lekki over the weekend, I've got in touch with a few friends and my work colleague has invited me over for lunch at his place over the wkend.

I just came back from a lunchtime walk. Walking around most parts of Lagos is an adventure. You have to make way for the motorcycle taxis (Okada's), the mad drivers who honk their horns as if they are playing music and try to see how many pedestrians they can knock down and all the others who's mantra is "a fool and his mobile phone are soon parted" not to mention the sun beating down on your head. But, hey, if I had wanted to stay in an air-conditioned office all day, I shouldn't have left London (not in summer anyway).

I have a lovely view of the sea from my office so on that note - lets have some photographs (beating drums, dancing girls, blog rocks and rolls) p.s.I don't yet know how to attach pictures directly into the text so the pictures are in a seperate posting below.

First picture is the view from my office in Victoria Island
Second, third and fourth picture are of carnival day at the fee paying school my in-laws children attend in Ikeja-I can't quite remember the name, I think it's Avi-Day or something like that. It's in Ikeja GRA near Grange School. The ladies in black and white stripes are the parent/teacher organisers. I did tell you it was a vibrant school...
