Today was one of those run around like a headless chook days. To start I dropped our Aussie visitors at the bus stop and said farewell after which it was straight to the land to put water on the slab and to let the workers know that we would let them know when we were ready to start working again. Back into town by nine for the weekly VCCS fellowship meeting after which we went back out to the land with some people to quote us on removing stumps on the next area that we want to build on. Kathryn stayed and talked over with Ronnie (Olivia’s mother) from Australia about her schedule while she is in Kabale for another couple of weeks. When I returned to town I not long got home to do a few things and Kathryn called. We were borrowing Pastor Frank’s car so Kathryn could run Jan around to various speaking events so I could still maintain my headless chook state. The car had a flat tyre and I had to go and help.
After that was all taken care of and we finished lunch, Kathryn took Jan to the women’s conference in town, where Jan was giving her normal straight forward in your face message – which went down really well:
I on the other hand went to Akanyijuka with my plumbers hat on and fixed the toilet that one of the boys had managed to play with and flush one of the parts. Of course the parts were not readily available to replace them and I had to ad lib with what I could get, but all the systems are flowing well now. After a long chat with some friends, Johnson and Ruth Agaba, on the way home, it was preparing dinner time. I whipped up a simple dish with some of my home made Indian Paneer. Jan was impressed with my dish. If you know Jan, that is a big compliment – so if the children are not enough to encourage you to come and visit, then come and I will cook you a nice dish for dinner one night!!
