Friends

This week is certainly ending a lot better than I thought it would. Over the last two days I have received emails from friends that I hadn't heard from since I left Uganda. It has been really exciting, just when I begun to think, oh well I've been forgotten and I have only 2 friends left in the world. I also got an email from my former boss and a phone call from a friend wishing me a happy valentines.

Monday was Mich's 3rd birthday and sadly we couldn't throw him a party because I wasn't feeling too well. However he insisted on us getting him a cake so we bought him one and sang for him, that made him happy. I really wanted to do much more for his birthday and I think he is going to celebrate for a long time because I'm not through with him yet.

I had a eureka moment last Sunday when I finally found "posho flour", I had been searching for a while, got all sorts of strange powders until I found "corn flour". I remember some friends cracking on me and saying that I'd never find it because I was looking for the label "posho". What I got is as close to the real thing as it gets. All I wanted to eat was posho and dried meat in g-nut sauce, it was a stretch and involved walking long distances but I got it. Mich likes it too, something I can add to his diet because he hasn't been eating much lately. I thought he'd take on to Mac and Cheese, sandwiches and the other things kids love to eat here but no, he is interested in g-nut sauce, avocado, greens and tomatoes.
