The Zoos Shave All the Animals

I've been talking about my dairy for about 8 days so far, which is roughly the half way point.

So I thought you'd enjoy a few Uganda pics!

Enjoy! Go on... you know you want to...



This is all of the gang.
"Bzungu!"



And this is all the village lot that we hung out with. They all rocked!

We also went out on safari, which should come up on the diary soon. I've heard of zebra crossings, but never giraffe crossings. This one shot across the front of the jeep.



And you should never make an elephant angry. Cos they're big. And trees are like little tiny twigs to them.



Oh, and do you remember the spiders I mentioned in day 7?



*Shudder*

After a long absence, I bring you.

DAY NUMBER EIGHT!


Day 8:
"Snoor, snoo, sleep" etc

Cockledoodledoo! Cockledoodledoo! Cockledoodledoo! Pants...
Apparently, our hut was next to a farm of some sort and so the roosters were up and about. It also didn’t help that someone kept trying to ring Sat from 7am to 8:30am and whenever Sat answered it, he couldn’t hear the other line! And to top it all off, someone next door to us (whatever that means in a hut, cos there was only one door to get in!) had a radio and was listening to it all night! I still got sleep though.

This is actually the day where I get to do my first (and only) bit of teaching for the trip. Sat managed to wrangle me in yesterday to talk to the village folk about ‘What the Holy Spirit does.”

We were up early and I have the worst bath ever! Please, please take me back to Banda where I had a door and concrete floor! Nuff said about that.
The holes in the ground also stank. Please, please take me back to Banda.
Breakfast is 3 hours late. Please, please… oh, you get the picture.

Anyway, we asked the girlies how their night was. ‘Cockroaches, spider’ etc…
And then we wait. We played ‘Stop the Bus’ ate breakfast and waited some more. Then, finally, at half past 2 (2 ½ hours late) we began teaching.
Everyone in the village seemed really receptive and after lunch, I had my go. I started off a bit nervous but God gave me the confidence. It was actually a privilege being able to share Gods word with them… however, Maz was less impress and she fell asleep during Christine’s teaching!

Afterwards, Sat asked me if I’d enjoyed it.
“I can’t say I’m disappointed it’s over”, is the reply.

Next we showed the Jesus video. Patrick (one of the interpreters) spoke for about an hour inviting people along before the film begins. Loads of people showed up. All of us (bar Loz) try to catch some sleep in the van while it’s playing though. The entire film was in Luganda, which, although funny to watch for about 5 mins cos of the lip syncing, can get a bit boring!

However, sleep doesn’t happen, because we got treated to the most unbelievably spectacular natural light show I’ve ever seen. Forget the laser show at Seaworld. This rocked! Lightning without ANY thunder lit up the entire sky. I can’t explain how much in awe I was of it. My jaw could’ve hit the ground – multiple times (if it was still huge!). God’s creation is an awesome thing. None of the Africans cared of course. No big deal to them.

After the Jesus video we went around talking to people who had seen it. Reg and myself met this really nice pastor guy. He translated for us even though we didn’t know him! Nobody lied either. All they said was ‘Not today’, which was actually pretty aggravating too. I told them to come to church tomorrow then!

In Uganda, it really doesn’t matter what time you eat, and even though we were all shattered, they insisted on bringing us dinner at 11’o clock. We ended up getting to bed at about 12 hoping we’d get enough church rest for tomorrows church meeting. Andy swapped beds with me because he needed more room. “Why put that in the diary?” I hear you say. And we were glad because it was our last night here in the hut.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I bring you.

The 'NAKED FALL'!!!

I was in a school in Bosnia I was on amission
Lozza - The power of dreams! says:
There was 2 showers for over 100 people
Lozza - The power of dreams! says:
so the boys got the first 30 minutes of every hour and the girls got the second 30 minutes of every hour
Lozza - The power of dreams! says:
as I went to my shower 2 Bosnian girls had already got the showers and time was ticking on
Lozza - The power of dreams! says:
the boys would be in soon
Lozza - The power of dreams! says:
so while I was waiting for them to get out of the shower I stripped off so I didn't have to faff about
Lozza - The power of dreams! says:
the cubicals were next to each other and they didn't have curtains
Lozza - The power of dreams! says:
so the first girl to come out of the shower just happend to be the shower farthest away
Lozza - The power of dreams! says:
so I made a run for it so the other girl wouldn't see me naked and I slipped on the water and fell flat out on my back and this Bosnian girl who was in the shower saw me

Ok Loz. You win. Boycott over.

Because Loz has cheated on the results of her 'Embarrasing Moment' poll, or just had voters who voted 10,000 times, and she
a) won't admit to it
or b) put up the real winner

I suggest we boycott her blog until she posts 'The Naked Fall'.

Who's with me?

Power steering, side impact bars, new radiator and exhaust, under floor air conditioning, green, 3 wheels, electric sunroof, electric windows, new model where passenger door doesn't close, hard to track if you're a criminal because the number plate can be easily removed, taxed and MOT until 02/06.

20p ONO

Hmmmmmmm.

I'm thinking of what I could *possibly* put in here that would be worth reading.

*Twiddles thumbs*

I mean, it's 4 in the morning. Something interesting must've happened tonite.


Duh... duh... duh!
I crashed the....
Car, car, car.
Crap, Pants, Crap.
I didn't really crap em
I just made it sound like that.
Skid, skid, skid.
Is what I did, did, did.
And now it's gone,
I'm still not talking about my pants.

Yeah... so my car is going to be written off.

Poo.
