Planes, pumps and roast magpie

We fly tomorrow afternoon at 2.00pm from Birm to Dubai then an 8 hour wait (umm...) before onwards via Addis Ababa to Entebbe. Bex & Emily Wilson who is coming with us (daughter of Jules and Trish for those who know them) have just spent a happy hour cramming 140 pairs of plimsolls into a bag for the flight - an interesting experiance!

Yesterday our appreciation of wimbledon was somewhat interupted by a bird in the back of our gas fire. A call to the gas board today enlightened me that this was an emergency. Within 25 mins a the gas man called, somewhat dauntedly removed gas fire and a dead magpie!! just as well we didnt need the fire on - has anyone ever tasted roast magpie?
