I am currently sat in Sharm el Shiekh airport making use of their free wireless internet, via Thomas' laptop. Technology never ceases to amaze me, especially when it works!
We are heading back to Cairo tonight and then I head back to Karachi tomorrow. It has been good to spend the last couple of days with Thomas. I may have mentioned this before, but he is a wonderful person, of whom I am inordinately proud, and very thankful to have in my life. We have done very little apart from laze by the pool, swim in the sea and talk and as B.T. used to tell us 'It's good to talk'!
We have also started to make plans for my school trip to Egypt which is in about 10 weeks, Thomas is going to join us for some of it and the best part for me is that we arrive on the 14th March which is Thomas' 21st birthday, isn't God good! He will probably be with us for the Cairo leg and then go back to Alex for his exams and then meet us back in Cairo so that he can fly back with us to Karachi and then stay with me for at least 10 days.
It will be fantastic to have him with, as there is so much of my life there that I want to show him. I have already started to practice the commentary (out loud) for the trip as I drive around the city and the places we will visit (yes I know it sounds barmy, but it's part of my charm!!). We have said to each other a couple of times this week how fortunate we are to see so much of God's wonderful creation and to be able to share our journeys with each other and of course, dear reader with you!
The news I have received form Karachi is encouraging and it would seem that for the moment the normal service has resumed, which is of course what is normal for Karachi, which is as you know is chaos, but you do have to love it.
One other thing I will share with you, is that you never know who might be reading your blog. On the day of the assassination of Benazir, I received an email from a journalist at the Mail on Sunday asking to contact me. When I explained that I was in fact in Egypt and wouldn't be back in Karachi until the 6th, the communications went no further. So you never know, in the future I might be quoted in the British Press, is the UK ready for this we ask...?
