Gone with the wind...

Well, the good news is that our internet is working again, and that we've also finally solved the problem of being unable to send emails. I'm very thankful for that, as there are always lots of last minute emails from delegates preparing to come to LDC and sending their flight information so that we can meet them at the airport. We'll have a lot of airport runs this weekend, as we take the coaching seminar people for their homeward flights, and welcome the LDC staff who are arriving for the week of staff training and preparation.
Meanwhile the intensive coaching seminar is going well. Wolfgang is doing most of the teaching, while Stephe and I are having fun doing the demonstrations and debriefing in the sessions where the participants practise the different kinds of coaching skills that they're learning.
After the wonderful sunny weather that Jacqui and I enjoyed last week for our "holiday" days, this week has been much cooler and strangely overcast. This morning we awoke to strong winds of more than 45 kiometres per hour - so strong, in fact, that the garden furniture was being blown all over the place, and one of the green plastic tables that we use at lunch time was lifted right off the terrace, flown over the wall, and deposited a little bit down the road in a nearby fig tree. We had to send out a rescue party to recover the table in time for lunch!!
