When I grow up .

"When I grow up I will be a PAJERO"


Followed this little car on the way to work this morning.
I wish I could summon up as much ambition!!

And I thought I was feeding the birds !

So much for the birds.
I can't believe I've actually been feeding this little blighters.
Cheeky Rats !

'Peaceful Elections' .... ?

This sign is up in the middle of one of our main roundabouts on Uhuru Highway in the centre of Nairobi, and has been there since before Christmas.

Do you think someone knew something was up already?

- otherwise why was the government offering us "Peaceful Elections" wishes back then? Surely we he had no inkling that our elections would be anything other than peaceful at the time?

I'm on a toilet roll ....

I'm on a toilet roll here as you can see ........... ER SSSSORRY BAD PUN, but hey it is Friday !

Anyway as you can see from above photo, if you're thinking of doing up your bathroom I found a fab place where you can buy yourself a toilet. May have had previous owners of course and could even perhaps have fallen off the back of passing lorry, but no matter, a toilet all the same!

If anyone's interested in purchasing said item, please send an email to

itsbloodyamazingwhatyoucanbuy@thesideoftheroad.kenya

and i'll be sure that someone gets back to you soonest with their full catalogue !

I have temporarily shifted!

I have moved all my Mzungu Chick on the Move posts to http://lostwhitekenyan.blogspot.com temporarily whilst we have a situation going on here so that i can keep Kenyans news updated as i come across it whilst on the move.

Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, see you across the road.

Kenyans shocked?

This is the headlines in one of our newspapers today. Although I'm not sure we're shocked. Are we?

We most definitely expected politicians to pay out loads of cash to bribe people to vote for them and the fact that only one third of the money given out actually got to the voters and the rest went into the pockets of the agents is absolutely no surprise to any of us either surely!

The best thing I did hear that this report found out, was that something like only 3 in 9 of those people bribed actually voted for the politician who bribed them.

To me that at least shows we might be getting somewhere.

Take the money and vote for who you want to is most definitely progress in my book!

This is the weather forecast . . .

Most definitely a bit of a storm heading this way on our side of the fence.



I'm not quite sure what happened to summer?!?
