The only one...

While the men watched rugby on telly (visible top right), and as I was the only lady present, I kept myself busy with handwork!
 
Recently blogger friend, Eileen asked if I was the only lady on camp. I am the only lady in our company. Every day of the week I see nine men, including my husband, for lunch and dinner or BBQ's. Over the weekends, the men watch rugby at the club with employees from the Client company. As there are two other South African ladies, Amanda and Tilla in that camp, (but only Amanda visits the club) as well as Ntsia, my lovely Tanzanian friend from private camp, this is some of the the only times I get to spend with other women! 
 
However, on Saturday I was the only one... Amanda and her husband are in South Africa; Ntsia had work commitments and she and her husband just didn't make it. So there I was, keeping myself busy while the men watched telly. There were a couple of men who weren't watching the game so I had someone to chat to. In fact, one of the younger lads picked up my phone and photographed me, hence the rare photo of moi! 

I wish you all a wonderful week.

  10. I wondered who took the photo. You look very calm and happy. I would probably be playing with my computer and photographs if it were me.
    I hope you haven't lost my link again.

  12. A very nice photo of you, indeed, Jo! Great to see you again after being mostly off the computer for the last several weeks. I'm doing better but suffering some from fchemically induced neuropathy in my fingers and feet. I have my CTScan coming up on the 26th, then planning to go hiking on the AT (Appalachian Trail) in Maine in September. ☺
