WUNDERLI WANDERINGS

Last week Simon was flying a regular Northern shuttle flight around the north of Uganda.  However, all did not go according to plan.  As Simon was planning to leave he realized that the plane wouldn't start due to the failure of the igniter box.  He was able to radio back to the office and organize for another pilot to fly up with an engineer so that the part could be replaced.  Of course, this took some time and as you will see from the photos below there is not a Starbucks (that comment was for you Ian :) or equivalent that you can relax in while waiting.  However, Simon being a lover of wood was not bored while he waited and took off into the bush in the hunt for some unique pieces.  You will see the pile below that he travelled back with.  Not a wasted day at all. :)  Now we just need to see what appears out the woodshop.

Last night (Friday) Zara was selected to be in the talent show at her school.  Her and some friends auditioned for a magic act.  It went great as did all the other kids who sang, acted and played instruments.  They were quite the talented bunch and to have all that confidence to do it in front of such a large crowd. The weather has also changed here. For some reading this post you will find this to be no...
