A Mzungu who loves Kenya

• What does this mean?

  Trawling through the hundreds of photos that were taken with my cameras while I was in Kenya (not all taken by me), I came across this one of Ben, a five year old Nairobi boy. I have seen this sign many times, both in Kenya and the UK. I didn't take this photo, so couldn't ask him what the sign meant, if anything.

  
  

  
  Ben bears a striking resemblence to Tyler James Williams, the boy who plays a young Chris Rock in Everybody Hates Chris ...

  
  

  ... don't you think? (Ben is the one with hair!)

• Water -v- Oil

  Michael Grunwald, a correspondant for Time Magazine who has been commenting on Florida's attempt to restore the Everglades to their former glory commented, "There is an understanding that one day water will be as precious as oil."

  I am sorry Mr Grunwald, but we can all live without oil, albeit with very different lifestyles, but try to live without water.

  Water is the most precious commodity on this planet. We survived for thousands of years without oil, but we have always needed water.

  Even in this modern age, there are still people who do not use oil or its products, but they need water every day. Needless to say, most of these people do not have enough water.

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
