Who's The Daddy?!

So this has been an exciting few days! This week we have decided to rent a new home for the boys. Until now they’ve been staying in their simple rooms down at the church. We’ve decided to move the boys into a more homely environment into the flat above where the White Eagle Girls are staying, which includes a proper lounge, dining room, bathroom and FLUSHING TOILET!! They will stay here for a year until the next phase of their home is built.

Anyway, next week 14 of the younger boys will move in and guess who’s moving in with them to be the Daddy? None other than my rudeboy self! Soon to be a man of responsibility, I’ve realised it may mean I have to start acting my age. Lord help me!

Right Arm Round the Wicket – 6 to Come!

With my growing love of cricket over the last few years I thought it was time to introduce the boys to a game other than my beloved football! As it was raining we played indoors and the boys took to it very quickly (although some of the bowling actions were pretty funky to say the least!)

Unfortunately it was brought to an abrupt end when one of the boys was accused of tampering with the ball. The umpires pronounced the batting side the winners by default and now the ICC has launched an investigation. (To tell the truth the bat snapped in half when one of the boys went for a 6 and the bottom half nearly took Rob’s head off!)

How to Keep Your Skin Youthful!

Last weekend in celebration of my friends Rob and Kat Davies being here, we went to Lake Nabugabo. We travelled as we always do when going to the lake, on the back of a massive lorry, dancing and shouting all the way!

The day was taken up with swimming, playing volleyball, and once again eating spectacular amounts of pork and rice! There were many photos I could use to sum up the day of jubilations but decided on this one. (Please note that this Ugandan Mudpack is now available from Rabu Industries at the bargain price of £9.99 a pot! Buy one today and get your own free bag of monkey balls!)

The Pork Factor - A Meaty Suprise!!

Yesterday was independence day here in Uganda. To celebrate we went to the farm and FEASTED on pork. I highlight the word feasted because it was a feast in more ways than one!

Firstly we ate pork in every shape and form. For the first phase we had BBQ pork (2 large skewers each – see photo!). The second phase was fried pork with onion and cabbage. The third and final phase was stewed pork with mountains of rice, matoke and sweet potato. It was the sweetest pork you could ever imagine, although today I’m paying slightly for it, as is everyone else in this internet café if you know what I mean!! (Special smells my friends, special smells!)

There was also a feast for the eyes as I visited the piggery on the farm. When I came to the pen of the fattest daddee of all pigs I encountered an amazing site. So amazing I’ve given it its own blog entry below….behold the wonder my bredrins and sistrins, of what was the crowning glory of my day of meaty suprises!

The reason that River Of Life pigs have such large litters!

Check out this fat daddee - He's rather large in more ways than one! Ai!

..and the winner is...

Well, I have been impressed with the response to your first task. Many of the names impressed me greatly so in order to crown the winner a panel of judges has been assembled from throughout the land of Uganda.

We have decided that my newest bredrin is to be called.....DUNDOOZA (with greatest respec to Jeza the original). Therefore Jonny, who first suggested it, well done, 5 special fried blaps for you and a bag of grasshoppers on my return!

(p.s. after all that it seems Dundooza no longer wants to be my bredrin and I haven't seen him since. Perhaps it was the special smell i created that night we first met?)
