3rd March. I hope you are managing to stay with me during my marathon posts from Uganda 🇺🇬! There really is so much I want to share with you.
For instance, I was sat on the ‘shade’ eating my breakfast of black tea, breakfast granola bar, g-nuts, bananas and pineapple this morning when I became aware of people waiting on chairs in front of me. Now this is not unusual here, people are always calling round. Then I heard Bosco’s voice and realised he was treating patients a few feet away! He offers his help free of charge be it general health issue or basic dentistry. Today he was mostly pulling teeth, with no anaesthesia! These people often don’t have any help so when the word gets round that he’s at home people make the most of his help.
There was time for a group family photo too as one of their three sisters had called. I never know if they are ‘sisters’ as I’m often called that too! 🤗

Sunday Lunch
Meals always start with one of the boys serving me, then everything stops for a prayer of thanks. I always enjoy the meals in Uganda though my portions are a quarter of everyone else. They have an eat today in case there’s nothing tomorrow mentality. I tend to eat more at lunch than supper as supper is served so late. Yesterday’s lunch was particularly nice having been given a chunk of chicken breast with only little bone. Often the birds are a bit straggly, tough and you often find splinters of bone on your plate! I commented on this and the boys started laughing. ‘You know that big cock you admired?’ Yes I had just eaten the big white cock I had been sat beside each day!! This morning there was no cocker-doodle-doo!

I ate pumpkin leaves for the first time, they were delicious! 😋
