Hello,

Yesterday was a bit of a rubbish day; there was not really very much for us to do at the clinic so they kept giving us pretty pointless jobs to do and we spent a long time sitting around doing not a lot.The evening was really good though.We went for supper at a man called Paddy's house - Charlie knew him quite well from her trip here in 2005.They served us an absolute feast of really delicious traditional Ugandan food; matooke, beef stew, rice, vergetables and then pineapple for pudding.We took a couple of the toys we had brought out as presents for his two children and they were really pleased with them.

This morning we were basck in the clinic making weekly tallies of diagnoses for a couple of weeks that the staff had missed out by mistake.Malaria and respiratory tract infections are the most common problems by the looks of things.We have just been to a 'restaurant' in town for lunch, where we had matooke, posho and rice with beans in sauce.It was quite good actually.We have a fairly free afternoon now; I imagine we will probably spend a lot of it in the orphanage.

I have got a cold at the moment, but one big advantage of working in the clinic is that I was diagnosed and prescribed pills immediately!

I think that is about all for now, sorry I don't have anything overly exciting to report xxxxxxx
