Do they know its Christmastime at all?

From the pen of Vignir:

A mechanical person greeted me at the supermarket the other day. A feeling of uneasiness came over me; the mechanical person was somewhat sinister and eerie in appearance. He had a disturbing laugh and a smile which seemed to hold many unsetteling secrets. This was of course Santa Claus, christmas time is coming!

Of all places in the world Soroti is one of the last place where I'd expect to see one of these abominations. But the spirit of the season is here, although the climate would indicate that it is now the middle of summer and christmas is months away.

We will of course do our part in making the holidays festive. Harpa has already bought red and blue lightbulbs, although the red one gives the appearance that we're running some sort ofbackstreet business... None of that sort, we're celebrating christmas a time for cheer.

We'll be going to Kampala to stock up on decorations and food supplies. Including a duck. We will be going completely "native" when it comes to the duck. We'll be travelling on the bus with an alive and kicking duck.

Happy holidays everybody.

Vignir and Harpa
