The guys at the petrol pump teach me a new word every time I fill up. And Betty "my sister" who sells me my fruit and veg helps me too. So shopping is a lot more fun than in Tesco's!

I can (I think) imagine how much it means to them. It must be very rewarding for you too, maybe better than a big salary!!??

Sorry you were "dung out" of some of your anticipated fun with the great E4 (elephant excrement examination excitement) but hey they haven't stopped making it yet,have they?

Kati (ooh!) darling, keep your spirits up and your nose down and all will be well.

Here most people can eat enough, even if there isn't variety.
There is famine in the north though. And malnutrition in remote areas where they're not educated on nutrition.
One thing I love about Kampala is they DON'T have a McDonald's though (at least not yet …)

Over here we just over eat all the time without realising as we are so used to too much. Perhaps we should all spend a year in Africa to adjust our eating habits and then the world might have enough food for all. Oh deep thoughts at 7.23am. Love to learn a few words of Luganda before we come out. Something we need to discuss soon as time passing so fast.
