This was taken by the Hub: it is a beach in Burundi, on Lake Tanganyika. He was on a business trip with a colleague. He says you can see The Democratic Republic of Congo from this beach. In the background you can see what Wikipedia calls ‘the mountainous walls of the Great Rift Valley.’
The Hub also tells me that they came back to this beach at night and they could see, by the light of their torches, crocodile eyes. Many crocodile eyes.
They didn’t stay on that beach for long.

I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
