My two year old is at the final stages of toilet training so we have a few accidents. As frustrating as that and all the frustrating things they do to interfere with an orderly life, I much prefer that to the sudden hollow in the pit of the stomach when something bad has happened. I too feel the same way about medicines. The two year old loves rummaging through handbags and you know what kind of Aladdin’s cave they can be.<br /><br />Is there not a soba at the village to talk about the land grab and effect on clinic’s and water supply?Nigel Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316662790230511444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-20824021259655273632012-07-07T16:58:34.602+01:002012-07-07T16:58:34.602+01:00I'm glad Alex is all right; i hope you and Mar...I'm glad Alex is all right; i hope you and Marcia will be all right, too--what a harrowing experience!<br /><br />Here in the States, there are Mr Yuk stickers you can put on things. My cousin's daughter was 3 when she explained to me who Mr Yuk was. She told me he lived in the cupboard under the sink, and that if you ate or drank anything of his, you would feel very bad. She then took my hand, walked me over to said cupboard, opened the door, and showed me all the bottles and things that were Mr Yuk's. <br /><br />meganmegan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-42018323539186503812012-07-07T13:12:25.513+01:002012-07-07T13:12:25.513+01:00SBW, oddly enough no.

About fifteen years ago when I was security manager for BHP, I visited their London offices and all the secretaries started calling me Ziggy. Apparently they thought I only looked a bit like David Bowie but sounded just like him.<br /><br />Rebecca, I would sooner be in Belize than Angola, no two ways about it. I loved being in the jungle. Fellow officers used to joke that I only came out of the jungle to collect my mail at the officer´s mess. Any fool can be uncomfortable, we always said, it is surpising how civilised a night in the jungle can be if you know what you are doing and have the right kit.<br /><br />Your blog continues to be absolutely brilliant and has to be the best advert for Belize out there.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-78133719335855419222012-07-07T12:02:38.210+01:002012-07-07T12:02:38.210+01:00By the way, was just out in the Caracol area and t...By the way, was just out in the Caracol area and thinking about roughing it in those jungles.
