Did the earth move for you?

 On Wednesday we thought our chairs had developed massaging features. We were experiencing our biggest earthquake which lasted about 30 seconds at a magnitude of 5.7. Fortunately its centre was on Lake Albert and we don’t think there have been any fatalities, though traditional wood and brick houses in the area may have been damaged.

 

 Last weekend was the end of the financial year which meant it was time to do the annual stock take. In addition to the usual counting of drugs, syringes and other medical equipment that Malcolm was too squeamish to ask what they were used for, it was also necessary to visit the hospital farm and count the cows. For the record there were 24 in the herd: 11 in milk, 6 dry, 5 in calf and 2 heifers.

 

Each morning before work a brief service is held in the dining room.  On Wednesday Irene gave the talk for the first time – Genesis 18. Is your God a big god?

 On Wednesday every week a group of lady patients meet to make craft which is sold in the hospital shop, and is a chance for them to earn some money. They were pleased that Malcolm came to  take their photographs.

This weeks bug is a spider which decided to help out with some embroidery.

 This week’s Swahili proverb from the BBC Africa web-site is from Kenya  “A cow dies with grass in its mouth”
