Monday ,16th March 2015

So frustrating!
The Internet came on and I was about to publish when Sallie arrived and when I turned back to my Blog, the Internet had gone off and then I had to ask Rogers to help me find the blog in drafts...........
Went to Kabalega Primary by taxi as Sallie had negotiated a better price for me with Moses Taxi! The trouble with walking you are covered in dust and it is too hot after 10 ,am.
Managed to make some appointments to teach sewing after school but only on Thursday & Friday at 4:30pm and to teach animal conservation tomorrow to P7 at 3:30pm and to go back and prepare the teachers for the Trip to Murchison Game Park today at 4:30pm.
Apparently there are 101 pupils in P5 to whom I will teach sewing so I will just teach one stream of 50!
Teacher Nebbert is grumbling that he will not go to Murchison and The Board of Managers ,(governors) want one of them to go to Murchison also! I have said no we will stick to criteria!
Did have a nice talk with Deo the D.E.O.
Pat arrived back just as I was having s huge avocado for lunch.
She missed the gorillas as she not only had the runs but also a cold and you are not allowed near the animals if you have even one of these, poor girl. Apparently Ria and Elias got very close after only half an hours trek! When I saw them with my niece wevhsd ,4 hours trek to find them!
MONDAY 16th March.
I wasted time on Saturday and again on Sunday when the I internet was available and this morning I got up early
a. To catch Internet but it was not on & has this moment appeared.
a. To visit the D.E.O because I have not yet greeted him and I am working in one of his schools.
c. I shall be teaching in Kabalega Primary all this week before I take the P7s to the Game Park on Saturdayd. I am cancelling/postponing the suggested Workshop for the teachers of Masindi Centre for the Handicapped due to Ronnie's lack of enthusiasm,Abraham has malaria and I am short of time.

Sallie and I had a great time at The Introduction ceremony for Bishop Georges's daughter Rebecca. It was very well organised and there were lots of traditional ceremonies and dancing. That was on Saturday.
Sunday yesterday I was proud of myself for getting up and WALKING to church. Moses Taxi wanted to charge my friend dh.20.000

FRIDAY ,13th third posting.

Joseph Isingoma seems to be avoiding me so have sent him text asking him to come to Courtview Hotel tonight.
Have made an appointment for Sunday to discuss maths books with Lecturer Joanne.
My phone is charging whilst we have power so later I will arrange trip to Harriet's village to try to explain to her parents that they must stimulate her during holidays.
Tomorrow is the Introduction of Bishop George's daughter, so will get my nails done in town(vanity!)
This is the Dining Room of the lodge where we stayed down in Ishasha part of Q.E.Parked and saw lions!
FRIDAY 13th  second posting

Trying to publish posts written over the past few days and pictures:
Got up at 7am and still no piped water. Moses Taxi to Masindi School for the Handicsapped where I had a good talk with Eseri the Head. We planned a Workshop, possibly on Thursday as my time is running out!
My Harriet is on the right in green uniform.
The tall girl has bad epilepsy
Saturday 21st February 2015

Having a frustrating day: the many maths books, kindly donated by The Orchard Primary School in H ounslow, weigh very heavily plus I have so far forgotten how to add a photo to this blog! I shall have to choose which year group I shall take books for _ possibly Primary 5 & 4.
Tuesday morning is designated for bagging up the needles,thread& packets of shirt buttons.THese bags will be shared amongst to five of us going out to Uganda.
I have virtually finished packing my suit case which is good but although I have charged up my "Uganda Phone" it doesn't seem to, come on and I want to get GOdfrey Taxi's number ready....
Sunday 8th March.
Have just finished a lovely meal of CROCODILE kebab flowed by homemade cheesecake!
The five of us are in Fort Portal enroute for The Queen Lizabeth Game Park where I used to drive on a Sunday after church, in the Sixties when I taught at Kyebambe Girls'!
Yesterday we had a wonderful trip to the Rhino Sanctuary outside masindi.
My shoulder is slowly getting better but it is extreme frustrating and I even have to ask Pat or someone to take photos for me.
I will be back in Masindi and have a very full programme to get through once Anne,Ria and Elias have flown back to U.K
Yesterday we were lucky enough to see Bishop George process through Masindi as the congregation welcomed him back from his sabbatical in The States.
