Sunday… up, up and away
Jul 13th 2008PeterGetting My Life Back!
I heard yesterday that I have got a flight for my planned trip away – so on Tuesday evening I shall be departing for… The Falkland Islands. Some of you will know that I have been there before – the last time in 2000 for 12 months. This trip is only for 6 days, but it will be long enough to see how the projects I was involved with then have come to fruition, and to catch up with some of the people I know there. This is all courtesy of a friend of mine who is currently working down there, and I am very grateful.
So I am digging out my cold weather clothing, boots and so on, and packing a rucsac with warm weather stuff in case the flight is held up at Ascension Island (as is occasionally the case in the South Atlantic Winter) because of bad weather.
Internet access will be negligible so I don’t expect to be posting to the blog while I am away, but the camera will be packed and I’ll post some photos when I return.
Back at the ranch I have been mostly home alone – the girls coming and going while I provide (limited!) cooking and domestic services! Felicity comes back today for a couple of days before disappearing to mange hospitality at “The Open” so we are having a family get together this evening – roast dinner etc – which I will be cooking. The time on my own has allowed me to get on with coursework 3 – the last one for this module. The work is almost complete – I just need to type it up.
But now it’s off to sort out the stuff to pack! I’ll try and post something before I go – otherwise it’ll be about 10 days!
Onwards and upwards!

Good luck Peter.
In this case upwards and downwards, mind the sheep and look out for new oil deposits
