Tomorrow we go to Huddersfield for Dominic's dedication. It will all be a bit of a rush, leaving our own church half way through the meeting and then getting over to join the folks in Dan and Kim's Church. Anyway, it's all going to be really good and just adds to the excitement of the next few days. We start packing on Sunday evening in readiness for our flight on Monday night to Kenya. So, the next 36 hours or so is all systems go. Everything is in place, vaccines, anti-malarials, visas etc, etc. Today I have been sorting out correspondence and paper work so that everything is in order before we go. Mary is doing some baking for the post dedication meal and sorting out clothes that need washing before we pack. Tomorrow evening we pack, allowing ourselves Monday for anything that has been forgotten. We are being taken to Manchester Airport by Bethan and David at 5.00pm on Monday evening to arrive three hours before the flight at 10.00pm. Everything so far seems to be in order.
Watched the Six Nations Rugby this afternoon. Another knife edge thriller for Wales, which unfortunately they lost - again! I am mystified as to how a team of such talented individuals cannot do better. The team that won the championship in 2005 will this year not register a single win - how? No doubt over the coming days there will be calls for the resignation of the coach, Gareth Jenkins and for the captain to be sacked in favour of the new find, James Hook. Hook is actually sensational and reminds me of the floating, jinking abilities of Barry John. So there is still hope. I hope the coach hangs on in because in the mediium to long term I think he will pull things together - it's just rather painful to be Welsh at the present moment !!
Next game is against England, and if Wales win that, even though they have lost everything else this season, they will consider the chamionship to have been a good one!
