WEDNESDAY 1st MARCH 2017
My head cold has gone but I am left with a hacking cough!
We have had some spectacular thunder storms over the past three days especially at night with thunder and lightning and trees swaying and palm fronds being torn off!
I have been busy booking the transport,launchtrip park entrance and food for Friday's educational trip to The National Park.Yesterday and today I have taught theP7s a couple of lesson s to prepare them for the trip. They told me that they will be seeing horses,jaguars,bears and caribou in Murchison Park! Ugandans do not have much knowledge of the world outside Uganda and in fact have never seen a rhino! Rhinos have been made extinct in Uganda but Angie at Ziwa has now bred 12 from 3 breedingbpairs from a zoo and from Kenya. Unfortunately I don't have enough money to take the schoolchildren to Ziwa to see these rhinos.
I walked down to the bank to get a daily allowance of cash so I can pay for the mattresses I shall hire tomorrow , ready for breakfast up at the school At 5:30am well before dawn on Friday. The P7s are so excited at the thought of beef stew for supper tomorrow then a boiled egg, mendazi and tea for breakfast and chicken with roast potato for packed lunch. Sallie has a new chef ( wonderful coconut sauce last night with Nile Perch,)
