Some time to write

Greetings to you all, we are in Jinja for some much needed rest so have some time to write. Since we last wrote we have celebrated my 60th birthday with the children from the home. We bought ice creams for them all so it was a real joy to see their pleasure (ice cream is somewhat of a treat). Marilyn had made a cake so we had a wee party at home and on the Saturday night the Muzungus gathered for pizza and soda so the celebrations continued. We then have since celebrated Ezra's 12th birthday in the usual style last Friday, and Marilyn played for a wedding on Saturday for two of our workers who were getting married after 10 yrs of being together. Weddings in Uganda are well known for not keeping to time but this time it was with a difference. The wedding was timed for 1pm and at that time both the bride and groom were there, but they had to wait for the congregation to arrive. The wedding service eventually began at 2.30pm (we had been there since midday to set up) and once started the day proceeded smoothly, we got home about 8.30pm.
Our time at Jinja has been good, we return home tomorrow, but it has been amusing to us the last two days there have been busloads of Secondary students who have 'stopped off' at Kingfisher to stretch their legs while on field trips and many of them want a photo with us (because we are whites), we feel like celebrities.
Marilyn is ready for us to go out for dinner so I will end now.
Till next time
God Bless
