Dad has not been around at all. When her mum and her sister came to collect Kissia this afternoon in a people carrier, they wanted to put her into the boot, but her elder brother said no. A young lad aged 13 who honoured her with the respect and dignity she deserved. Everyone was composed and they left to travel up to the family plot, 3 and half hours drive north of Nairobi.

It's very sad Phil, it's such a shame when it takes another child to so compassion and respect.

I think I'm going to suffer tomorrow, been working down in the garage all afternoon but even though it's a double there's no room. Got the 75 in there, God knows how many boxes of stuff from the old house and one of the neighbours asked if he could put his tools in there for a few days.

I need to get under the front of the ZT so set about "adapting" the old ramps I have but the lack of space meant that I only had a small area of floor next to the 75 to work in and was bent double most of the time. Straightening up was getting slower and slower!

Managed to get the 75 started after leaving the booster pack charging for about 3 days! Confirmed my suspicions about the battery, left the car running for nigh on two hours with the alternator pumping out a constant 14V but the battery isn't doing anything with it, won't take a charge!

She had just started to learn to walk. She suffered from convulsions. Despite all of this she would smile and do her best to help herself and try to communicate with those who were lucky to meet her. So feeling sad for her mum, brothers and sisters. RIP Kissia lots of love x

My sympathies go out to all. It is sad that one so young has gone

Evening Jeff - bit windy up here too - not sure whether 4 slices of toast and a full tin of baked beans at lunchtime may have a bearing?
