There is nothing like a romantic candle-light meal to celebrate your wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, when we went for an evening meal at the Travellers Rest Hotel we had no choice. There was another one of the routine, daily power cuts which meant that for some of the meal we were peering lovingly at each other across the gloom.
What made it worse for the hotel is that because of a shortage of water the Water Company has been cutting off users on a cyclical basis to share what is available, and it was Kisoro’s turn to be cut off on Friday. O well, we’ll just have to stick to the sodas.
Malcolm has been spending most of the week at Potters Village Crisis Centre for Babies. One of his tasks has been to set up a wireless network so that the various laptops can share the printer and access shared folders.
He also has a chance to examine the various building projects completed in our absence.
Otis, the guard dog, has a new home.
And the new building, which includes a new babies’unit, offices and staff flat has been completed.
Irene has been helping with the distribution of sewing equipment donated by the UK charity ‘Tools with a Mission’ to women in the Diocese, some of whom are pastor’s wifes. The hand sewing machines had been distributed in our absence. This time there was a selection of accessories to be given out including bobbins, zips, needles etc. It was noted that some of the women sent their husbands to pick the accessories up.
The machines had been packed with knitted children’s clothes which were also given out, including a rather smart red jumper and blue woollen hat to one girl.
