Tales From Tanganyika: August 2008
http://talesfromtanganyika.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A Diva Survives Africa. Monday, August 11, 2008. I was stopped by a policeman at the corner of Haile Sellasie Road last week. I was hot and bothered because the air-conditioning in my car is behaving badly and refuses to drop below a certain temperature. Heat always puts me in an bad mood and I was dying to get home and cool off when I spied a policeman standing right in the centre of the road, waving at me to pull over. A bimbo and went round to the back of the car to try and pry open the boot himself&#...

Tales From Tanganyika: May 2008
http://talesfromtanganyika.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
A Diva Survives Africa. Tuesday, May 27, 2008. I'm back in Dar again! The trip to KL seems like a dream.a very good dream but still a dream! It's back to dusty roads, generator power and slow internet connections. There's also the sun, the sea and my friends of course- mustn't just focus on the bad side! The best part is, I'm reunited with The Engineer - 3 weeks was a long time to be away. Surprise, surprise both my hand luggage and my main luggage were pronounced too heavy and they insisted that I repac...

Tales From Tanganyika: April 2008
http://talesfromtanganyika.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
A Diva Survives Africa. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Kuala Lumpur , here I come! I've been a bit silent of late because I've been running around like a headless chicken trying to get everything done before I go home to KL on Sunday. I still can't believe I'm actually going home for nearly 3 weeks! The last time I was back was in June 2007 - a trip back is long overdue. The only downer is that The Engineer will be unable to come along because of work. This might seem like a pretty straightforward exercise e...

Tales From Tanganyika: The Web
http://talesfromtanganyika.blogspot.com/2008/07/web.html
A Diva Survives Africa. Monday, July 28, 2008. I'm afraid of many things and among these are dirty public toilets, camping and appearing at a dinner party in the same dress as someone else. In the natural world, I have to say snakes in particular and reptiles in general give me the creeps. Strangely enough, spiders have never really been the stuff of my nightmares - until now that is! Even people who keep spiders as pets would find the following photo, if not disturbing, at least a little creepy:. After ...

Tales From Tanganyika: September 2008
http://talesfromtanganyika.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A Diva Survives Africa. Thursday, September 04, 2008. I just checked and discovered that my last entry was on the 11th of last month! I've been AWOL for nearly a month now! I actually have some good reasons (at least I. 1 My sister in law, with whom I get on famously, came to town. We seemed to spend the entire time talking and doing not much else. During one marathon session which lasted from 7pm to 4 am, I lost my voice and ended up croaking for two days! 1 'Ghost' still provides great entertainment ev...

Well yes, I finally figured that there was no way I would get out of bed unless I made a proper vow in front of my altar - then there's karma and all that involved, and it's never a good idea to deliberately aggravate your bad karma. It must be a great life. I did my offerings. And my WHOLE SADHANA with bells and everything.

Dolly on the phone. Published Thursday, November 30, 2006 by Dolly. On the up: Phone calls. On the down: Waking people up with phone calls. I have this really irritating habit that I am completely aware of but which I can’t seem to stop. I ring up people in the morning, and I’m thinking to myself Oh dear, I hope I don't wake them up. ". When the other person answers and sometimes, if they sound like they’re still asleep, I squeal very loudly down the phone, Oh hellooooo! So I did, secretly glad because i...

Published Wednesday, May 31, 2006 by Dolly. Tsongkhapa's this fabulous Buddhist saint guy who wears this great yellow hat and is all smiling and zen and. Om Ah Ra Ba Tsa Na Dhi. You're supposed to visualise an image of Tsongkhapa in front of you as you're reciting his mantra etc. And he's supposed to be golden and radiate brilliant golden light. Rinpoche has described it as being like the sun's reflection on a huge mountain made entirely of gold bars. I ain't enlightened yet. Then again, also found heaps...

Published Thursday, September 28, 2006 by Dolly. The weird things it makes you do. I thought I would brave the ghastly effects that cheap teh-tarik tea leaves do to you and drink a big glass tonight. I demanded they make it EXTRA HOT, so they did and I slurped up the whole thing in 5 minutes. So now I'm full of caffeine and bouncing around the house like I just woke up from sleeping for a week and it's almost 6am. I know) and there's this email address there. I CAN CONTACT JAMIE O'NEILL! Dear Mr O'Neill,.
