Ask the right question

Our return from the holiday was the start of our stay at the Catholic Guest house. We had seen it before and it was recommended and a lot less money. Once we checked in we were given a tour of our rooms and then it was mentioned that we had 2 jerry cans of water in the room. We found out that have toilets and showers but only when there is water which they were in short supply of. The right question was not "do you have showers and toilets" but "is there water to run them?"
The beds were very comfortable but how soon we remembered the town crier - a few too many quiet nights had removed the memory! Up at 7 and we went off to meet a man about some land he had for sale. We walked on dusty roads for a mile but he didn't show up - even  though confirmed when we left to start the walk. After breakfast we headed to Maam Watali to greet Glen and Ellen from Glenergy - our solar electricity system providers. Social and business talk and then fresh fruit and they were back to Kampala. Sue is going in tomorrow to pick up some more products to start another business adventure hopefully for the girls to take with them as "franchises"  when they move on.

The Container - the saga continues, Sue had to register and register tons of paper to get it out of Mombasa as now they are saying sports equipment is not a charitable product. Apparently it did leave the port on Monday and is on its way - Thursday is a national holiday so we have lost another day. We are hoping for a Friday delivery and the Makidye Club is planning to arrive en mass Saturday - We might still meet the timetable..
