I'm going to Tanzania in two weeks! Sunday to Sunday, staying in a hotel that promises to be QUIET. I can't guarantee that I will ever leave my hotel room as what I'm mostly looking forward to is SLEEEEEEEEP. If I do, though, I'm looking forward to going to some small museums, wandering around the old parts of Stone Town and seeing buildings older than 10 years, eating nice food, and most of all not seeing the same effing faces over and over again. I am sacrificing the opportunity to download more television in order to leave my laptop at home, where access to email and files will not tempt me to do any work.

I am going to try and mix marmite and cheese into my pancake mix tonight for dinner. If that goes badly wrong I have leftover chicken chow mein. And some tea cake marshmallow things that aren't as nice as Tunnocks.

Argh, I just had to look up the Jolly Good Fellow lyrics (both sounded equally 'right' to me) and apparently I've plumped for the US version. I blame too much American TV in my childhood and not enough real experiences of singing that song.

The Hokey is of course, though, always and forever the Cokey (the Pokey? wtf?).

Wikipedia claims that in New Zealand it's called the Hokey Tokey. And seems to suggest that the Hokey Pokey name came first, which does nothing to diminish the fact that it's WRONG.
