And now for something completely different..

This was the scene in our hallway earlier this afternoon. D is on the phone to Grant, who is driving down from Dundee to pick us up in Lockerbie. Jack is worried because bags are packed and waiting to go into the car. On the sofa is Fred, a mannekin who was no longer needed at the hospital and is waiting to go to Ethiopia. I dressed him up in the Facing Africa t shirt..
We are off to Leeds for a Facing Africa meeting. I'm writing this in the car on the sunny A1 south of Scotch Corner.
Somehow on the way, I managed to buy an antique bookcase... but that's another blip story.
