The last couple of days have been really relaxing. Today is the Monday of a long weekend and on Saturday we aquainted ourselves with the pool at Mbale Resort - we spent the entire afternoon there and received some wicked sunburn as a reward. The burn has fortunately faded so we are heading down there again in a couple of hours to fill in the public holiday.
The mornings here are nice and fresh with everything wet with dew, then it heats up as the sun rises until it is cooking hot in the sun but nice in the shade by about 9:30, then at about 2-3pm the rains come and drown everything in site so the air cools and then you get a nice balmy evening. It's a perfect weather system almost!
We attended a 3 hour and 40 minute church service yesterday during the hottest part of the day and it was pretty full on, African Christianity has a flair for the dramatic. But we made it through, but we did have to decline going to lunch with the pastor afterward, we just didn't think we could cope with that on top!!
We have both had a little trouble with exhaustion and are each sufferning from colds and general headaches and stomachaches but we are being looked after so well by Lyn being fed wonderful home cooked meals every night that we certainly cannot complain! The generator goes off in 8 minutes and I want to post this before so I will sign off - love to you all, hopefully the power will be on tonight (it is meant to be but you never know!) and I will write some more.
