Hello,
Well I'm back in civilization if we can call Kampala civilised ;-) I was visiting a friend in a village. Last night she asked if anyone in Trinidad would know what an outhouse was! And I really wondered.My memory of using a pit latrine in Point is very vague! I seem to remember walking past the pigs to do so? Daddy could correct me on that. I wonder if Andre knew that life at all? Last night in the village we had no water and no lights,and my friend Phoebes has a coalpot. At about 8 in the evening I decided I wanted to have a bath and use the toilet! What drama! She had no torch and I had to find my way to the latrine with a candle! Which meant walking very slowly so as not to blow it out,and praying that no animal is going to runover my foot (or worse bite my exposed behind!) while I'm squatting.Of course the bath meant heating the precious water and giving me a little in a bucket so I could sponge off. Luckily Kabale is very cold so you can survive with a bath evrey two or three days ;-)
I survived, but decided last night I could definitely not live out here.
Phoebes fortunately should be able tomove to a new housewith kitchen and toilet inside by next year.
