WEDNESDAY 30th APRIL 2014.
This, probably mylast before I fly back to U.K. is being written on a borrowed computer and comes with a health warning.
MY BELOVED NEW LAPTOP WAS STOLEN LAST NIGHT WHILST I WAS AT DINNER.
I had been having a most succesfull day, visiting Shining House, Roger Turner's orphanage and then going up to Kabalega Primary with Rogers to install th compuer and link up the printer and also to take possession of the two cupboards and pay the carpenter ( his wife of 20 yrs died last year in childbirthalthough the child - their seventh lived. His mother now keeps house for him).Milly the new Head at Kabalega couldn't get the electricity switched on so we abandoned that idea. Rogers will goback once school reopens May 19th. Came home to te hotel all hot and sweaty and indulged in a cold Bell beer. Chatted to Sallie and Robert and about 7pm as it was getting dark popped round tomy room, dumpd my handbag and picked up the outfit the tailor made for my grear niece, to show
Sallie.My laptop was in its usual place.
We chatted to Florence the CID officer and ordered dinner. At 9pm Rober moved into the Bar to watch the News but since it was the local one I said goodnight and went to my banda. As I neared my room I noticed that the lights were on and the curtains open.I unlocked the door and went to the desk to write thid Blog ..............to find no computer! I then looked across the room to where my hndbag was on the floor near the bdside table. Since I had been to the ATM to get funds for my journey home via Kampala I opened it and looked inside my wallet -all the cash left from paying the carpenter had gone!
I rushed back to get Robert the Hotel Manager and we both went and searched my room . Nothing. We then caught Sallie as she was about to go home with Wamani Taxi and he drove us to the Police station
