No....the goat didn't eat a passport.We have been invited to the farm of our next door neighbour for a big meal tomorrow with his entire family. In Uganda meat is always served when guests are invited. So tomorrow's special course is tied to a tree across the road from our homes. Personally, I like goat meat but I've never seen a live animal prior to consuming it at a meal.And for totally unrelated news....I have finally got my UK passport!!! I was granted citizenship before we left for Uganda and did not have time to apply for the passport. I was under the impression that I couldn't get a first-time passport outside the UK, but discovered to my delight that I could. Last week we were in Kampala for a meeting so Thursday we went to the British High Commission to submit our applications (Danny needed a renewal). I was asked to return the next morning for the interview as a first-time UK passport applicant. The passports were ready later Monday morning. How's that for efficiency?!In answer to a question I often get.... NO, I did not give up my US citizenship! I am a dual citizen.
