https://therocksinzambia.wordpress.com/author/therocksinzambia
The Rocks in Zambia. Random rumblings of an ex pat family living in Lusaka. Author: the Rocks in Zambia. Expats- why so angry? I’ve lived here for almost four years now, and have called Lusaka home almost since day one. People are stressed, and when they get stressed they get mean, it’s not a pretty trait. Crime is up, in the last two weeks I’ve heard about more crime than I have in my previous four years, I have to wonder however is it really up? Or is common sense just down? The Rocks in Zambia.

The Rocks in Zambia. Random rumblings of an ex pat family living in Lusaka. Gratitude post 10- The love of reading! Aka Roald Dahl- a rock star! December 11, 2014. December 11, 2014. I love to read, in Zanzibar I made up for lost time, and lost sleep, on getting through 14 books in 10 days. I don’t often get a chance these days but when I do get a chance and a good recommendation, I’ll go sit on the porch, neglect husband , child , dogs, cats and dinner in order to finish it! Almost 20 years ago. For now...

The Rocks in Zambia. Random rumblings of an ex pat family living in Lusaka. Gratitude Post 11- Life tastes better with…. December 11, 2014. December 12, 2014. I am a terrible cook, I’m not just saying that I really am an awful cook ,the Rock is an excellent cook, but it doesn’t help, he can’t be expected to come home from work all day to have to cook. He tells me it’s because he puts love into it, me? I usually put too little salt into it! That right there is why the dog is obese! It’s a standing j...

February 2015 – The Rocks in Zambia
https://therocksinzambia.wordpress.com/2015/02
The Rocks in Zambia. Random rumblings of an ex pat family living in Lusaka. The Best friend I’ve ever had! Any one who knows me knows the love I have for my now old boy Marvin. He was just short of 10, way past his prime for a bulldog, and until two weeks ago he was doing just fine. I promised him in the car on the way home if he stopped eating I would do right by him. Rock came home on Saturday and he stopped eating, and stopped walking on Sunday. We had a deal. He went through a lot in his 10 short yea...

The Rocks in Zambia. Random rumblings of an ex pat family living in Lusaka. I’ve been trying to write this post for almost two months, how exactly do you write about someone you don’t know? Then I realized you write what you do know, whilst it may not be all the facts they are what I know. Ed was good to us, to Rock, Pip and I, always good, he only ever snapped or got grouchy to me once and that was about a week before he passed. And never ever to Pip and she can be quite a handful. When mom and him came...

The Rocks in Zambia. Random rumblings of an ex pat family living in Lusaka. Gratitude post 9- trusting your gut. December 9, 2014. December 9, 2014. Sorry I lost my mojo! After 6 weeks of intense testing and educational assessments Pips results are in, turns out she is smarter than average and Dyslexic. I sure didn’t, I kept blaming her inability to read properly as a symptom of moving too much, I honestly believed she just wasn’t at those lessons! Get a bloody dictionary you ignorant piece of horse poop.

The Rocks in Zambia. Random rumblings of an ex pat family living in Lusaka. February 2, 2015. February 4, 2015. 30 years ago, my dad died, it’s been 30 years! I mulled on that quite a bit this last week! How can you miss what you never really knew? I don’t think you can, that’s sadly the reality of it. I know I missed the idea of him, a lot when I was growing up. The image of what remained in my head the few ingrained memories that I do have are all so random. So we’ll just try make the best of it. I als...
