Good mornooning all.

We are home, but our suitcase is still on vacation. Fortunately I got a text overnight saying they had found it and will courier it back to us.

I am not entirely sure which country it is in though... “first flight” indicates that it’s not the UK.
oh dear. Well I hope it does not come past this way, as then it might take a while to get to you.

We have very nice sunrises at the office in this period on the morning, it's a pleasure to see… :D
I cannot send you a picture, it's forbidden because I'm working for an aircraft builder.
To the east of me is all trees, so I never see a sunrise, but we have some spectacular sunsets!

Good evenooning all.

I had two calls at lunchtime. The first was from the airline wanting to reunite us with our suitcase tomorrow. They’re bringing it to the rescue as I have a shift there tomorrow morning.

The second was from the rescue asking if there was any chance I could go in there and then as they were desperate for help. So I bolted my sandwich down and headed over to wrangle pigeons, hedgehogs and a kestrel. The kestrel managed to escape (someone else’s fault) and was just sitting on the table watching me when I turned round. Having caught him and returned him to his home, I have now been told that I am authorised to handle the birds of prey. Normally the staff do it, but with one on the loose and so much kestrel dinner in the room I didn’t have much choice. Apparently I followed protocol perfectly.

Nice. Will you get to deal with an Osprey? I love to watch them.

Not in this part of the country. Here in Kent they’re occasionally seen on the coast. There are more of them in Scotland and the north of England. We mostly see Buzzards, Sparrowhawks and Kestrels

Before you know it, you are going to be one of the staff and not just a volunteer. Well done Linda, we expect nothing less from you.!!! (No pressure of course:D)
