A Grand Entrance

We know how to arrive in style at posh hotels! Our flat is temporarily unlivable due to unfinished floor repairs so we have been decanted to the Marriot for ten days. We didn't unpack the cases last night thinking that something like this may happen, and today I went out to find a taxi for the removal when it was confirmed. Dd was sore affronted by what I came back to the door with and the thought of her smalls spilling over the streets of Cairo from the roof rack was quite unappealing to her. I used my scout training to size up the driver's approach to lashing everything down with a piece of rope he happened to find in his boot and decided it would be all ok. It was!
