Give us this day our Daily Bread, corn flakes, coffee………….

We are settling into Kiwoko.

 

One of our daily needs is shopping. Kiwoko, being a small village, sells a limited range of items. The busiest day is Saturday, market day. Last week Malcolm accompanied Denise and Natasha to buy some vegetables and to have a look around.

 

For more serious shopping Malcolm leaves it to Irene. On Friday she went with Denise (the bosses wife) on the 50 mile journey to Kampala. There she found coffee shops, restaurants, a hairdresser, clothes shops and western style Supermarkets. She was particularly pleased to find the reduced price section for bargains

 

Security is taken seriously in Kampala. Cars are checked for bombs, and may be searched when you drive into shopping mall car parks. And even in the wc toilet rolls are protected from opportunity thieves - one sheet or two, madam?

There are an interesting range of bugs around the hospital. This one was spotted on the wall of our house.

 

 This week’s proverb from the BBC Africa web-site is Swahili “Better to stumble with the foot than with the tongue”
