Uncle Danny and Antony, an unfriendly farmer and SO much spinning!

Antony arrived yesterday and, well, what can I say; I don't remember going to bed and again I fell asleep with my net untucked!

I met him around 12 at the backpackers where he is staying and we basically just hung out and drank beer until 10 (maybe, I'm not sure what time I left). Antony had his first rolex though, and made great friends with a furniture shop owner in Mengo. I tried sugar cane also, which is basically just chewing a very very very sweet piece of bark! We also got massively beaten at pool by Antony's new friend and met a 75 year old farmer who hated me at first but then decided I wasn't so bad. He basically hated anyone who wasn't from Buganda (the Southern part of Uganda that includes Kampala)!

Behind the little bar we were drinking at we met a group of five little kids playing with some rocks and using a broken tiffin case to carry them around. The handle was messed up though so everytime they tried to carry the rocks they all fell out. I fixed the handle and then proceeded to play 'collect a shit load of rocks and put them in a pile, then knock the pile down and make a new pile somewhere else' for about an hour which seemed to entertain them. We then played the 'count to three then pick up the kid and spin them around' game, which they massively loved and from then on they called Antony and I 'Uncle'! I tried introducing some learning into the game by teaching them the alphabet, but they decided spinning around was far more fun, so we span some more.

We played for about 2 hours but it started getting dark so we left the kids be and headed back to the hostel for some beers. The kids were not happy we left so I told them we will visit again on thursday when I come back from Entebbe. We're going to find some sort of ball to take to play with them with (if only so we don't have to spin anymore)!

Today I'm off to Entebbe to meet Jon at 3, and we have a night booked in a tent which could be quite entertaining - particularly as Jon doesn't yet know he has to sleep in a tent!
