SECOND BLOG of SUNDAY 27th APRIL

There is so much to tell, I don't know where to begin!
This morning I went to church at The Cathedral, getting a lift with Robert Manager. We got into conversation with Sue so arrived a bit late and had to squeeze in behind a pillar on the back row.
We found The Mothers' Union in full spate celebrating Lady Day.....................
All the Mothers' union members were dressed in either white satin gomasi or  sukas made of a pretty blue and white pattern featuring the  blue MU logo. There were many prayers led by various ladies and the choir sang and a few members performed a play in Runyoro which I could neither understand or see being so far back! Robert later explained that it had been performed earlier at the Runyoro service and that they repeated it for us and that it was about out a wealthy man who broke up his home life by showering money and gifts on a young girl, not his wife. There was a male guest of honour who mentioned how his parents had stayed together and how his Mum had ameliorated his Dad's harshness when he flunked his "A" levels and due to her intervention he went on to get a degree at Makerere University. Bishop George honoured us with his presence and we ended with an auction - a homemade ball  made of knitted banana fibre raised a lot of money as The Chief of Police and a top Headmaster bid against each other!
