http://mangoesmonkeysandmaggie.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Mangoes, monkeys and Maggie. Sunday, 30 November 2008. Education, Education,Education. They have to sit in rows on a concrete floor. The teacher is lucky if he has chalk, lately they have been using sticks of dried cassava as there has been no chalk provided. Nothing ever begins on time here. I was the only mzungu in an audience of at least 1,500 and the young children found me more entertaining than the performers! Sunday, 23 November 2008. Garibaldis, gingernuts and shortbread. There have been no bats,...

Mangoes, monkeys and Maggie: June 2009
http://mangoesmonkeysandmaggie.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Mangoes, monkeys and Maggie. Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It would make a great soap! One of the tasks of the research assistants was to collect a urine sample from a particular female. I was intrigued by how this could be possible and expected to see a technical piece of equipment. It turned out to be a long branch with a plastic bag on the end which was strategically placed under the chimp whenever she was up a tree! It would be impossible to up-load all 380 photos so here’s a very small sample:. By Tuesday ...

Mangoes, monkeys and Maggie: December 2008
http://mangoesmonkeysandmaggie.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Mangoes, monkeys and Maggie. Sunday, 28 December 2008. Sitting on our patio drinking freshly brewed Ugandan coffee and looking over the Masindi hills shrouded in a dust haze leads you to reflect on the past year. We have had our downs, breaking my arm was not a good way to start 2008 but there have been lots of ups. The wildlife in Murchison Park must be some of the best in the world and it has been a real thrill to get so close to crocodiles and hippos. They are big! In the villages children still suffe...

Mangoes, monkeys and Maggie: April 2009
http://mangoesmonkeysandmaggie.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Mangoes, monkeys and Maggie. Sunday, 26 April 2009. Smile for the camera. This Sunday we were invited to another thanks giving at the cathedral. Twice in one month seemed to be excessive and in view of all the thunder and lightening this week we made our excuses. So today we have had a quiet day at home catching up on mail and avoiding filling in a tax return. How come Alastair Darling has time to worry about me this week of all weeks. Tuesday, 21 April 2009. Tuesday, 14 April 2009. Smile for the camera.
