Hakuna Matata

It's been a busy week made very tiring by us being less than bundles of health- unfortunately, we haven't been able to do everything we had planned to do.

Grace, Ray and Jane gave us a thoroughly enjoyable day when we visited them in South Wales and saying goodbye to such kind and caring people, whose friendship and support has been second to none, was not easy.

As part of a visit to London, Sarah D. treated us to "The Lion King" at the Lyceum. What a show! and if you haven't seen it yet, you really should. We loved every minute of it- the set and scene changes were stunning, bringing back memories of our time on safari in South Africa last year, the African music and singing were superb, and the characters were great fun.

Two characters in particular stole our hearts, as they have thousands of other children........... the meercat, Timon, and the warthog, Pumbaa.
Their song is Hakuna Matata and it goes like this:
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing crazy

It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!................

Hakuna Matata is now our philosophy too! It is a Swahili term and apparantly used as a greeting. The next 2 weeks are even busier but eh?.............no worries!
