Running Water and Running Repairs...
It’s raining outside, the tank for rainwater collection is going to be filled nicely. Not a bad idea here as running water from town is lousy for this part of town. Especially at dry season, you’re lucky then when you get some pressure at night time and you hear water trickling in. It’s the third day without running water, and we’re still in the rainy season (till November), so we better clean the tanks now to have the benefits later.

Yep, there’s electricity...
You never know for how long, so, I’ll better hurry with this blog.
Aart is busy getting his hot shower working. There has been an instant heater installed in this guest house for the Arch Bishop at one time. He doesn’t use the Dutch Electricians Norms, but well, it works. The kids are fast asleep after a warm bath in the tub, water heated on a charcoal fire.

Departure NL and arrival Arua
It’s about time that you (the none Dutch readers) hear something from us. Welcome to our blog! We had good intentions to work on this thing before departure to Uganda, but times were hectic before the 24th of July! We spent our last week before departure at Aart’s mum’s place, while our house was emptied.(scroll down main article for Eng. vers.)
