Time to think.

The sunshine is still with the UK at the moment and it makes for some amazing days. Riding around in the Wiltshire countryside is an amazing way to kill time when you have plenty of it to kill. Denzel has become a close companion of mine over the last few weeks, like I am sure my gorgeous new kites and board will be on my travels. I am, what can only be described as a very lucky girl.

The volcano in Iceland is still disrupting the flight in and out of the UK, along with many other countries in Europe. I am devastated to be here when I should be in Safaga but hey, my life could be an awful lot worse. I got chatting to a friend of mine today, first time in a while. I have known him for about 15 years now and every time we speak his life amazes me, I am almost in ore of what he has achieved with his life. I asked him what he had been up to recently and this is the response:

- I was involved with teaching the Nepal Army Bomb Disposal last year whilst I conducted demolitions of 34,907 items of unexploded ordinance and I am currently in Nairobi.

What can you say to that! How can you moan about a weeks delay to a flight to sit on a beach when there are people out there doing work like that!

Certainly makes maximising the London mobile comms network look small in importance! Time to think is an amazing thing!
