Timbaah!!!!!

Occasionally we need to attend a school ceremony. 

Last week Malcolm was invited to the swearing in ceremony for the new Guild (Student’s Union Committee) at the Hospital’s Training Schools. This event lasted for about 2 hours and included several speeches and entertainment. Part way through, and to his surprise, Malcolm was asked to present prizes to the outgoing committee members. You need to be ready for anything here.

 

One of Malcolm’s responsibilities is the hospital farm with its herd of 24 cows. This has not been doing very well with the previous Farm Manager sacked for stealing trees. The new manager, James, invited us to visit the Farm to find out more. Whilst there we met Sarah, one of the milking cows, but unfortunately not Rachel.

 

Talking of cutting down trees a team from a church from Northern Ireland are visiting for 2 weeks to do a number of jobs. Steve is a former forestry manager who brought with him the equipment to cut down some of the older, dieing trees around the hospital.

 

This week’s bug is a large flying beetle which visited our home.

 

 

This week’s proverb from the BBC Africa web-site is from South Sudan  “To love someone who does not love you is like shaking a tree to make the dew drops fall”
