Hi dear ones?
I thank God for the opportunity to see a new week. Boy am I
glad the year is also coming to an end. Love the holiday season as this is the
time I get to meet family members I have not seen in years. What are your
holidays plans? Have you guys made any? (Or am I planning too early :))
Anyway, I had a long lovely weekend. On Friday I woke up to
lovely scents of Swahili spices that filled the atmosphere as women cooked
delicious dishes to celebrate Eid. Men,women and children rushed their way to
the mosque for prayer and afterwards to celebrate the day. I got to meet
friends I had not seen in a while at an Eid party. We had a great time chatting and just feasting the afternoon
away. There was lovely Swahili and Ugandan traditional food i.e. pilau,
barbecued goat meat, chapatti, groundnut sauce, matooke, chicken etc.
Saturday was beautiful as hubby and I headed to the capital
city Kampala (which is 2 hours away) with Deidra and Joe for a double date day
out. I have featured Deidra and Joe a couple of times on this blog. We had a
great time as we were catching up and singing to lovely tunes as we drove away.
We first started off by going to the movies to watch Sparkle. Now I must say I
love this movie. It got me laughing, excited and crying a couple of times. I
would definitely recommend this movie for watching.
Oasis Mall in Kampala, one good get away place with good shopping places and restaurants.
We enjoyed lunch at this lovely Italian restaurant called
Mediterraneo Restaurant. I just loved the beautiful décor that was topped up
with great customer care and lovely ambience of Italian music in the background. The food was
scrumptious and the desert was heavenly. Let me just say I enjoyed myself.
Lovely dessert, Deidra would agree with me :)
Got gifted this lovely book mark from Deidra. Isn't it gorgeous? Thank you so much. It gives me the oomph to get more books to read ;)
PS: sorry for the picture quality, i used my phone to capture this, but i think it did a great job, though not compared to the professional camera.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
