mobility is a challenge

walked to church, sweating ++++++ by the time I got there, today was Bishop Appreciation Day, so folks showed their appreciation for the Bishop with donations, Josiah from Nigeria was the preacher (70 Minutes) and the former dean of the Cathedral in Kumasi celebrated, the Chancellor attended from Accra, service over 5 hours, and at the end Bishop invited everyone to sign my plaster, the kids were most excited along with the Chancellor, not been a tradition here but everyone is eager to  join in the fun, in the middle of the sermon got a drive home to visit the loo and then back again,  got a ride home at the end as walking that far just wears me out, there were little snacks after, spring roll and small cupcake,,,very++++ tasty and I have enough to not cook for supper  (YES) along with the drink I call Sorrel ( from Trinidad and Tobago) and here they call  ....       I will have to look it up
ok looked it up ...tsoborodo is one name, any name you call it...it still is very nice.
