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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
