Push the boat out, companeros!

Today has mostly involved packing and preparation for tomorrow's journey, punctuated by visits from my better half and the eating of leftover birthday cake, which always tastes better the next day. This here is a photo of my suitcase, fully packed and ready to be loaded on British Airways, then Ethiopian Airways, before being set down and unpacked in Kigali on Tuesday. I'm very much looking forward to getting down to the real business of Blipping things that are happening/have happened, rather than speaking in anticipation of things to come. Soon enough. But for now, I shall enjoy the company of my lovely girlfriend. A wee cuddle and a film, perhaps?
