‘Pub’ quizzes are a novel event to staff and students at the hospital as it is not something familiar in the culture. This time two American visitors, Dr Jim and Suzanne set the questions, and Irene’s task was to be the attractive lady to circulate and collect the answers from the teams at the end of each round.
At the last quiz Malcolm’s team (with Irene) won. This time, Malcolm’s team (without Irene) only came second. We wonder why!!
One lesson, though was
that the winning teams were made up of a mix of Ugandan and white people.
Malcolm was lost when it came to who is the Prime Minister of Uganda – but, who
won the 1966 World Cup!......... Unlike another American visitor, (who could have sung it) Malcolm did know the name of the American National Anthem.
This is a 4 minute
video with samples of the music from Staff and Students .
One of our friends
here, and home group leaders, Dr James and Milly, gave birth to their first
child a couple of weeks ago. It wasn’t long before Irene went round to ask if
she could have a baby cuddle with Susan – who seemed very pleased to oblige.
We again visited the
field that the Hospital Medical Director and wife own as their escape about 2
miles from the Hospital. We were offered drinks and popcorn, but clearly when
Malcolm asked for some more popcorn he was not going to be successful on this
occasion.
When it came to
cooling off in the pond both of us left this to the younger visitors.
