Just arounding

One of my favourite broken English sayings is "I'm just arounding" meaning hanging around. There are many others, like when someone gets up to go somewhere but they are coming back again (maybe to the toilet or something) they say, "I'm coming". Sometimes I get frustrated with this as it gives no indication of where or how long they are going for and if it's not the toilet, it's really hard to guess.

Poor Simon, patiently accepting these crazy mzungus (white people)

Me with Damson's mother and Magreth's mother in a traditional Masai blanket for women, this was then given to me.
Damson eating his first ice-cream... it was an experience! He could not understand why someone would want to eat something so cold!
Magreth, me, Beatrice, Magreth's Mama and Damson
Damson at the barbers... usually it's a pair of blunt scissors at home
