It requires a variety of skills and hurdles to navigate.
Can you decipher his messages, interpret his instructions, locate and travel to
shops (given that you have a full life of other stuff to do), pay with very
limited funds and so on.
The list began to arrive a week ago and was large but
manageable:
·
Ranger boots size 42,43,44
·
Army long sleeves shirts (German
or Austrian)
·
Belts
·
British army trousers (NB not
quantity given)
·
Then photos of qualified rangers
·
Copy of 14 certificates in colour
(very lengthy to download all from multiple sources)
·
Level 1 nicotine patches
·
Computer cable (he forgot)
I added to this, a present for Adamo who surprisingly turned up for the Ranger training. His daughter, my names sake, died a few years ago and soon after he did a bunk from Mareja with
a set of fine German china... having been best longest serving member of community,
from a child.
Other requests that came in yesterday,
old fashioned hanging scales, glasses lots +2.5/3.
Then today with only weekend to go until Lenny aged 17 and
johnny aged 19 leave for Moz....
·
Wick for oil lamp (accompanied by
picture of his hand and existing wick, but sadly don't know his hand
measurements, though they are 'large')
·
Inverter 12v - 240 v for computer
x 2
· Plumbing, taps inside and out,
and valves illustrated with another mysterious pictures and a voice message saying
could be 1/2" or 3/4" not sure.
I got it all and
a
bag to fit it in. It was squeezed into Lenny and Johnny's packing, which
included a service station meet up as J headed to Heathrow. Challenge met but
sadly no spotlight or prize presented.... yet?
