Plan for the day
1) Meet the Archbishop Uko
2) Go to the art gallery V/Rev Timothy has been going on about
We decided to see the Bishop first but he was not around so we moved onto visiting the art gallery. Perhaps gallery was the wrong word to use as what I found was a series of shops where men were working to produce lots of carvings and those kinds of African arts you find on mantle pieces of people that have been to Africa. There was also some tourist tack. I was slightly sad there was no gallery with paintings in so decided we should take a lunch brake.
We went to Mr Bigs, which is another fast food joint. I had bought a doughnut in Crunches last week and there was so little jam I vowed never to buy another doughnut from that place. I asked the girl if they had much jam and she said no. I decided to only take a drink whilst Martha and Rev had meat pies. I began to feel hungry and remembered that Diane had told me they do good burgers.
Hi can I have a beef burger please? –No sorry
Can I have a chicken burger please? - No sorry
I looked for chips on the menu and they did not even seem to feature. I asked for an ice cream but the machine was not working. I said “gosh this place has no right to be a fast food place if there is no burger, no chicken nugget, no ice cream…” the man said “sorry, sorry, the place will be fine when you come again.” I told him “I would be very sad if I do not get to try a burger from Mr Bigs before I go because I have heard their burgers to be highly praised.” In the end I gave up and had a Spanish omelette that was hiding under a different name.
I bought myself a carving of an African boys head and got Martha a necklace and earrings for her birthday on the 24th of April. I think she is 29 now so will be turning 30. We then went off to see the Archbishop.
When we went to Arch Bishop Uko’s house V/Rev told him about Amaudo and I went to sit by him and show him photographs. He said we should phone him after the 27th and he would arrange a time he could come and visit Amaudo. When we left he gave us 5 massive yams and even untied one of his golden goats and gave it to us. I was very pleased to be given a goat. I have always enjoyed animals and use to love going to the farm to pet the goats and baby sheep so I am looking forward to feeding and looking after my beautiful golden goat.
Me and my golden goat!
