les Davey de France

In 2005 Alan, Pat, Gwilym & Catrin Davey moved from North East Wales to Bordeaux. Alan is a pastor and Pat was a nurse. Now we work with UFM worldwide. Read on! (If you'd like to know what took us to Bordeaux, then start with the archives from September 2004)

In a fallen world sometimes things don't work too well !

1) Laptop - yesterday "Blue Screen of Death" three times in quick succession while preparing PowerPoint.

2) Aeroplanes - clouds of volcanis ash over Britain have closed Scottish airspace where I am due to fly tomorrow

3) Internet rail booking site - "To travel Paris to Edinburgh you will need to separately book Paris to Paris, then Paris to Edinburgh." You try to book a Eurostar ticket from Paris to Paris...

4) Skype call to Glasgow. "Placing your call".........

Hmm. Time to do low-tech stuff !

Dustcloud - A German colleague arrived here thismorning - travelling light with just a laptop - expecting to go home tonight. He's out shopping for hotel & clothes! I suspect this will last the weekend. Dutch closing airspace 1700z.
