Friday 10th + Saturday 11th October

We made an executive decision that since it was Duncans last day we would change the rule on Blog writing. It would become two days together otherwise we would be contantly writing it with only two of us left. So here goes with the first of the two day episodes.

As i have already said Friday was the day that Dunc was to leave and the job was to get across the water to the airport. We decided to take him over as he was scared about doing it alone, blest his girly heart. We got up fairly early and intended on checking Dunc in for the second part of the flight from Brussels to Manchester as they can't do it in Freetown airport which is a right pain in the bum. Anyhow I left the big fella to do it the next thing we had was abit of huffing and puffing over the "stupid printer" not printing all the pages. Dunc was really keen to get home by now mostly to see the love of his life (barry the cat) and of course to see Kerri. Not only that the lucky bugger had Colleen preparing a feast for him on arrival.

After achieving the first goal the second was to get on the Ferry. We had sent Par Jalloh off to get the car onboard and Mr Jalloh was going to get us there for 11 as the boat was about to leave. He was a touch later than we hoped but no big issue we made it just on time.

Our time in Lungi was simple we would visit the primary school there as Duncs last official visit and then go to the airport to try the food before sending him on his way. We had a great time at the school and a fantastic burger and chips at the airport. Then he departed. Then there were two!!!!!!!!!

Our final act was to come back over to Freetown, we were told that the Ferry left at 4pm. It was a lie we didn't leave till ten past five so we didn't arrived home till 7ish. The evening wasspent finishing the vodka and red bull and playing the all important UNO.

On saturday we had a lovely day a late morning and a bit of a doss! Then we headed off to Liverpool street to watch the England match, this is quick becoming one of our favourite haunts. We will be back to watch Chelsea and the mighty Boro next week. A great result for the England boys finishing 5-1. Well played lads. Then we went to sleep good times!!!

I can't beleive that Duncan left the Uno, unless he has another set at home, being safeguarded by Barry and Mojo
