Plumbing ....

Of course he is not as grateful as I had hoped – i wanted every item to be examined and complimented for its careful thoughtful choosing. But it is hard to elicit the perfect response on such extreme occasions! Although he was thrilled by the marzipan – in fact supplied by his mother!
Now what a surprise he suggests we go to the Pemba Beach Hotel for the night. What a lovely treat – we get a suite with a view of the sea on two sides, drink G&T at the bar and then have room service. I wash away the travels and remind myself what my husband looks like and enjoy it all fully. Tomorrow Malcolm and his group of bird ringers arrive and there will be much to do, no doubt in a panic and last minute.
