After the long day yesterday, we decided to go to 10am Mass in Shanzu (the third of 3 back-to-back Masses). Although we were there on time, the previous Mass overran so we were maybe 20 minutes late starting. Pwani time!<\/p>\n

As ever, there were liturgical dancers who danced at ever opportunity.<\/p>\n

The mass itself took 2.5 hours or more (including notices of at least 30 minutes), after which we retired to the pub!<\/p>\n

Then we set up the laptop for a “Majaoni Cinemax” evening, watching the end of Bride and Prejudice (which Maggy missed the other day) and then The Constant Gardener. The latter is one of my favourites, and it was interesting to watch in the company of Kenyans (who seemed to recognise their country, rather than dispute the representation thereof, which is maybe a bit worrying!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
