Dinner for One?

Dinner for One?

It’s Malcolm’s last week at Kiwoko Hospital. Any thoughts that he might lose some weight during his time in Uganda have been swallowed up in a round of meals.

 Firstly, there were some new visitors at the Guest House. Gillian, Wendy and Myrtle from Northern Ireland came for a few days to visit friends, carry out some staff training and pray with patients. They even survived some of Malcolm’s cooking.

When we lived here, we attended a weekly Fellowship group. It so happened this week was ‘Swallowship’, a meal to celebrate the birthdays of 4 group members.

 

Malcolm has been working with the Finance Team for the past 5 weeks and it is time to say farewell. You can’t say goodbye without having a proper party, can you.

 

Finally, there was a farewell meal at the Guest House arranged by Michael and Conrad.

 

 

We are now a little worried about Malcolm carrying excess baggage on the flight home!!

 

Incidently, after the farewell meal we played a game of Cranium. For years, for some reason known only to him, Malcolm has been carrying an old 3d coin in his wallet. This odd behaviour has now been totally justified as it proved the answer to on of the question.

 

The other ‘oddity’ is that Malcolm learned that, whereas in Britain during Christmas the film, ‘Great Escape’ is usually shown on British TV to remind us of life inGermany, in Germany the tradition is to show a short film ‘Dinner for One’ which gives them an impression of normal typical life in England. The following is a link to the film Dinner for One – fast forward the 2 minute introduction in German – the main film, starring Freddie Frinton, is in English and lasts about 15 mins.

Next week – back to dear old Blighty
