A Beer at the Embassy

Today Roger and I went to the British High Commission. We were invited of course. You see we rotate in high circles. Suspect that is best word for what we have been doing the last few days. It certainly feels like a pretty dizzy experience.

Anyway we were very prompt, arriving at 3.50, and then were called through to our meeting. Then suddenly a commotion, and we were flung out. I suspected BBB had something to do with it.

Well not quite. Another person had arrived for the same appointment time, and we are such gentlemen that we offered to go down to the beer garden for an hour, in the grounds - for a pint at the Gorilla and Goat! Honest its true.

Mind you, we did not get a beer - no-one there to serve us, so we just sat in the sun, chatted about strategy and planning. The meeting was very helpful, and pointed us in a good direction in establishing a significant project - back to Scotland to discuss this with the Scottish Colleges.

Now, while I am on high circles, we also have to let you know that the Prime Minister, David Cameron, has had the privilege of staying on our floor in Solace - indeed has sat in our office, when he was here a couple of years ago. What a fortunate fellow - blessed by association with Garlic and Fleming.

Enough of this blog - we are just about to board the flight from Kigali to Nairobi, via Burundi.

Hoping to be home tomorrow evening - see you also soon.

Light the flares Bad Boy - the Lysander is coming in!
