Yesterday, Wednesday Pat and I went to Harriet Katusiime s village to see how she is getting on. When we arrived her compound was deserted but quickly the bush telegraph got to work and the children appeared from the fields, one sister carrying Harriet. It is very hard for her to push her walking framefrom across the dusty and uneven compound.Soon Moses our taxi driver arrived bringing Alice, Harriet's mum who had gone to get her voting card and soon after that her dad pedalled in on his bike.
Today Uganda goes to the polls so Pat and I are tucked away in Sallie's hotel in Masindi(there was a riot in Kampala on Monday but Pat and I had a meeting with Millie, the head teacher of Ksbalega Primary. We are all so proud of the fact that 4 pupils of Ksbalega Primary have gained a first class pass at the first grade. On FTuesday Pat and Imet the 4 pupils and their parents to ask if we might reward the children's success by taking the to see the rhinos at Ziwa.

TUESDAY 16th February2026
The temperature is over 90 C every day plus there is some kind of nightclub in the boma opposite, playing LOUD music until,5 am every night!And the Internet has been off.......
Sunday Pat and I went to church St St Matthews Cathedral and so many friends can to greet me fortunately no one asked me to go to the front and make a speech as they usually do but Bishop George who was present greeted me like an old friend and everyone clapped. Afterwards I was able .to make an appointment with Mama Joyce the bishops wife and so today I will be meeting her and the Mothers union ladies.
In the afternoon Sallie and PaT and I were driven to Ziwa rhino sanctuary where Sallie had tea with Angie and Johannes who founded and run the sanctuary. They now have 10 young rhinos and 3 breeding pairs. Johannes is terminally ill with cancer so do pray for them.
Meanwhile Pat and I were taken - after hours - to see a resting goup of 4 female rhinos. The time but theRanger was very knowledgeable and after a while the rhinos got up one by one and walked off grazing on the new grass, sprouting after the land had been burned

Second installment part two
Slept from 6 pm to 8am on Thursday.
Breakfast of omelette and pineapple at Annet's then Pat,Annet and and I jumped in to Godfrey's taxi and went to the Craft Market where we met Dorothy Mugenyi and after buying sun hsts (I had forgotten mine and Pat wanted one that shaded the back of her neck) we asked some guys at a stall that sold touristy pictures if they knew of a famous old artist named Katangole.
One young man came forward and said his name was Katangole.That may be but he was much too young to be the classically trained guy we sought . Young Katangole Sunday then said he could contact the son of Katangole Wasswa who could paint in the style of his father.
We went back later and the son had found a small painting that did resemble Katangole Wasswa's work but I am not sure if it is an original...........
In the evening I cooked pancakes - a little late but Annet as a good Christian was keen to taste. oh dear - a bad workmen blames his tools but in an unfamiliar kitchen without the precise tools the pancakes would not flip - much to young Joseph's disappointment! tasted O.K though! Then we played the game of Jenga which I had bought for Joseph. A great success!
FRIDAY morning our journey to Masindi was delayed a little be
Whilst Godfrey bought meat to take to Courtview Hotel.Eventually we set of with all 4 suitcases for Masindi
