THURSDAY 1st November2012
Wonder of wonders! We've had electric power AND the Internet all day!
Spent the morning showing the P7s the magnets I brought and letting them play with them.Great fun.
Was dismayed to find that that Welder Francis had  made two complete metal window frames complete with grilles and shutters. I understood from Monica that he was goinr to simply add vertical bars to the exising metal frames but both he and Mary headteacher assured me that  Monica had  subsequently commissioned him to make these frames to replace the wooden ones on the back walls of he classroom. But who will pay for the wooden ones to be ripped out and the new metal ones to be cemented in?
Still can't get hold of Monica.................

Felt very tired and lazy after lunch - the weather is very hot and thundery.It seems to rain mostly over night

Spent a wonderful evening at Teacher Nebbert's mother in laws place in a village maybe 7 kilometres from Masindi.The road was muddy and full of potholes. We slid a couple of times and encountered cows....

Nebbert's wife died in childbirth and he wanted me to see his surviving baby boy.

The grandmother is a widow and is looking after baby Herbert along with several other grandchildren.
There was  a lovely meal plus coke and lots of praying  and a few tears . Next month Nebbert waants to take me to his wife's grave.
