The Week That Was: You Never Let Me Down.

I woke up the lovely lyrics of Marvin Winans Jr’s song ‘You never let me down’. This song stayed in my head throughout the day.

This is it; I decided that I’ll be doing weekly entries into this blog. My schedule is such that I might not be able to a daily blog, ata kama ndivyo inatakikana. I realized it is simply not possible.

Last week was pretty interesting, especially from Friday through to Sunday.

I stayed in the office on Friday, working until mid-night. I actually loved it. Then left to have a drink with my friends in one of Nairobi’s coolest clubs. It was a nice break, and which my body needed.

I was back in the office the next morning by 9am, working again on an upcoming website launch. This we did until later in the evening. However, we took a break for lunch in the Chinese Hotel. The lunch of rice, sizzling meat and chicken was just, wow!

Sunday is a church day. This one is taking me all the way to the rural Kenya, in a place called Gitwe in central province. My friend has been invited as a guest on a fundraiser. We drive the long stretch, passing huge tracks of coffee plantations, up an earth road till we come to this church, almost bordering the aberdares mountains.

The best part was getting an opportunity to hold a little kid, months old. It was such a moment. You cannot explain that feeling.

The service is nice, except for the piano guy who does not seem to get the proper notes. It makes the songs sound like cacophony!

After the service, we find ourselves going into the pastor’s house, Dr Mbagara. The house is immaculately done. They are rearing cows and pigs. Infact, we were given milk to take with us to Nairobi.

This time, my friends insists that I have to drive. I reluctantly agree. It takes us an hour or so and we are back in Nairobi.

It is time to relax and wait for the next week to begin!
