Warm people, cold country |

down – or should I say drop-down – at Bole
Airport in the Ethiopian Capital Addis Ababa. |
| It
is a wedding and nothing else |
TO HAVE AND TO
HOLD
Not that I am against combining functions,
but I believe a wedding should not be open to other
ceremonies, if they can wait.
I know people who decide to do the kwanjula in the
morning and wed in the afternoon. |

READY STEADY COOK!
Cook books have given us so many news ways to cook

I had a great Sunday service at church. By

Not another surprise |
TO HAVE AND TO

I love surprises. When properly pulled off, a surprise
can turn ugly things into very beautiful experiences.

READY STEADY COOK!
The landlords of this day know what to build into
a kitchen. But you will still find the odd house with
a large kitchen that has nothing in it but sockets
and a sink. |

I was recently watching Ps Benny Hinn with
legendary preacher Oral Roberts on TBN and it hit

Every time I read the book of Job, I sit
in awe of that man and his perseverance. When everything
he loved and had worked for was gone, he still had
sweet words for his God. |

| Sizzling
sauna chatter |
It is an uncomfortable experience
that can be addictive. If you have been to a sauna before,
you will certainly attest to this.
MM Pub Kabuusu in Rubaga was my maiden stop. At the
entrance is a wooden counter manned by a lady receptionist.

If not dealt with early, the evil we jokingly refer
to as ‘sibling rivalry’ can even result
into death. |

READY STEADY COOK!
To really enjoy hot chocolate, curl up in
a sofa, hold the mug with both hands, take a heavenly
sip, close your eyes, savour the taste… allow
your toes to curl… then swallow. |

| Last Thursday, Kampala was

perform at the Kampala Serena Hotel on an evening that
could have been magical, if Ugandans had not been Ugandans…
just for a change. |

I don’t know when this concept of salvation
being equal to boredom started. Must have started
the same day someone sowed the seed of salvation being
equal to poverty! |

paramount importance, in Uganda. |
