Wednesday 21^st September

I am gradually settling back here at Kagando after an eventful flight. I arrived at the check in at Gatwick and was asked to have my hand luggage weighed. This has only happened once but this time I weighed in at 18kg against an allowance of 7kg. The air hostess after reprimanding me was understanding enough to let me through which I was extremely relieved about!

At Dubai security decided my 4 way plug was too dangerous and confiscated it. I think they were worried I might strangle the pilot! Eventually arrived at Entebbe at around 2 pm on Monday Unfortunately everyone was there to meet their relatives returning from celebrating Eade so it took over an hour to clear the airport car p[ark. Fortunately things went rather more easily from then and I had a pleasant stay with our friend Simonpeter in Kampala before travelling on to Kagando with 2 other people who have come out to do work in prisons, work with the physio department and other things.

Today has been spent greeting many people and spending time on the medical wards. The hospital is fairly busy at present and the doctor numbers lower than on some occasions with a number of junior doctors from the UK filling in.

I am currently living in the rather cramped conditions in the guest house but hopefully moving to a small house that is being made ready in a week or so. A welcome find amongst things we left here nearly a year ago was another 4 way plug so I can have the computer, a bedside light and a kettle all going at once!
