Dear diary,
You know I
do not wander around like a normad, but I am a qualified “Footologist”. Not
because of the fuel shortages but because the credit crunch and inflation have
been making my money do disappearing acts for quite a while now.
My walks, although not self induced have schooled me in the
way of the road and given me wisdom and growth. This has made me “see the
light” and pointed me in the right direction.

For instance, never walk near a pond… drat! I
meant a pot hole.
The
experience
This sunny afternoon along old Kampala (martin rd) I got
soaking wet because this pot hole was filled with water ( I hope not a sewage
let out) but all the same I got wet.
The
catch
The car…was definitely one you could not insult. Perfectly
nice big wheels (mf$%@@*) could have been the latest range rover ( but I was
clouded by my anger and dumb founded by frustration) so you never know
The
Lesson
A pot hole Is a potential bath pond, if you do not want to
take a shower stay away: this warning applies for cars, boda boda’s and human
beings alike.
·
Never wear shoes to impress
The
experience
This re-union had me wearing this cute pair of shoes I had
just bought (red and chilli hot, high and sleek looking) then it began to shine
my foot (yesu) this had me limping the next day as the fake China plastic
material had burnt my toes for real.
The
Catch
The compliments…those are what kept me going. They were
absolutely welcome and from those O.B’s who truly made the Ugly duckling story
credible and all…(stupid shoes) but yeah
The
Lesson
Chinese products are a potential nuclear catastrophe. Buy
with care!
·
Always watch where your going
The
experience
Nasty stuff this to Step on dog poo. Gosh I relish that day…so
pips in Kololo who walk their dogs, cat looking dogs or small animals called
pets clean after yourselves and your small friends. Keep the Bio (go green)
slang/talk on the T.V at all times.
The
Catch
The helpful handsome guy whose name I did not catch for the
heavy “ muzungu accent” jogging at the time I met with this smelly accident. Stupid
dog lovers why don’t they walk their cats, at least they hide their “bintu.”
The
lesson
If u have a dog please school it in the ways of the cat (
only do it at home in private)
PS: successful vagabonds are into foot therapy at the end
of the day.
