Last night Renate was about to put her night dress on when she spotted s creature! Isn't this a splendid beetle!? Probably between the size of the head of a tea spoon and desert spoon. Renate's quite glad that she spotted it before putting her night dress on!Today is Liberation Day, a public holiday in Uganda celebrating the day 25 years ago when the National Resistance Movement marched into Kampala to begin what's turned out to be an unbroken period of rule by President Museveni. Presidential elections are three weeks away and Uganda waits to see whether M7 (as he's called) can be elected for a 4th term of office.As it's a public holiday Renate and Ian were mooching around in town and spotted this brilliant knife sharpener. When a customer is spotted he 'hitches' the bike up on a stand and engages a belt linking the pedals to a grinding wheel and "jobs a good 'un!"
