Today we didn’t have much to do, except looking into getting a cot. The carpenters told us they could make one for 40,000 UGX – that’s just under $30 AUD. But we will get Edward to give them a photo of one and correct dimensions and see if he can get a Ugandans price for it – usually at least half. So Quinton and Erica should be happy about that – but I don’t think it will be quite the same as the one they have at home. After this our other job for the day was to buy some more towels as we were currently using all that the Wards had and it is not possible to wash and dry towels in a day. After this we got some lunch and Kathryn tried some yummy yummy chocolate cake – I will say that she will probably not have that again. Phil would say hee, hee, hee to that – he’s been sniggering at everything that goes wrong for Kathryn & I today grrrrrrr. He’ll keep!
Here are a couple of photos I took of the centre of town as we drove back up to the Wards:
We are still waiting to hear back about our house, to see if we can move in or not. We have a contract from July 1st 2007 for one year. The current tenants are not living there, but have a few things to pick up. We have been waiting for over a week now as the landlord tries to contact them to see if we can put his things in part of the house and live in the rest until they come back to collect their things. Once that happens we will be busy cleaning and getting household items and moving and getting water and electricity connected etc etc.
We had a visit from Pastor Frank this afternoon; he was coming to tell us what he wanted us to talk about at a conference on Friday and Saturday this week. Not sure how we will go as the Wards took the subject that I thought would be best. If we do not have much on tomorrow, still need check with Edward in the morning to see how things are going, we will head up to the lake with the Wards and relax a bit.
Here is a photo for Quinton and Erica – it is a shot of your wing at the house we are looking at – BYO windows!:
Phil and I have been walking in the mornings and here are a few photos of what it is like in the mornings. Every morning is different but still magnificent:
