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, vergetable...

Arghhh I just wrote a long message and then the line went dead and it deleted itself. Anyway, what I was saying was that I had finally managed to post the blog I was struggling with earlier. Sunday lunch was indeed tomatoes and rice, but with peas and cabbage added - I am pleased that our culinary efforts are having some influence!

Hello again, this has to be a quickie because I am on Rev. John's internet and it probably costs him an arm and a leg. We had a great day today, back at the clinic reorganising all of the UN Aid medical supplies and labelling everything. It was nice to feel actually useful. We went to the orphanage yesterday afternoon and again this afternoon, the kids are great. We have taken some really funny photos of them but it seems that we are not going to be able to...
