TWENTY THIRD INSTALMENT 2 016
MONDAY 21st March 2016
Woke up with the sun at 7 PM staying at Margaret Tinkasimire's place in Kisoto/Kisaase a subrb of Kampala. Am now sitting on her verandah with a CUP of tea, in the cool.
Stayed in the house last evening and let her go to supervise her bar, alone.Dorothy Mugenyi came to join me and we sat chatting companionly although it was desperately hot.Daren't open any windows because of mosquitoes!
Sunday morning we managed to get to church just after 11am but the Palm Sunday service did not start until 11:35am! The church we attended was a newly built Roman Catholic one (Margaret is a Roman Catholic)
There was s really huge crowd of people all waiting outside for the service to begin, all carrying a palm branch. We bought one too.
The service was mainly in Luganda,the language of the people around Kampala but Margaret had brought her E English prayer book so I could kind of follow and read the long Palm Sunday Reading! The choircwas wonderful and was classically trained although the hymns were accompanied by drumming and African percussion.
After the service we checked on the bar and then dashed to meet Margaret's daughter,son in law grandson(aged 3) and Margaret's sister and daughter at a big restaurant. The lunch was in honour of Margaret's sister who was celebrating her 60th birthday. It was a buffet, which allowed you to eat a plateful followed by fruit and a tiny square of cake, all for sh.300.000(£8 approx). The air conditioning was a joy!!!!!! Still no rain.
After lunch we drove home, had a cold shower and fell asleep reading the first Cormoran Strike book!
