Sharife Returns

I drove to the airport after work this evening to pick up Sharife, back after his week in his native Australia where he'd been to see his parents, attend a wedding, and see his brother's new baby.

His journey was long and arduous, so it must have been pleasing for Sharife that on his arrival back in Malawi, he was waiting for his bag in the baggage hall when the airport power failed, and he was left groping in the dark to try and locate his luggage.  Meanwhile outside in the arrivals hall I was waiting for him whilst passengers emerged from customs with heavily-laden trolleys (many with wonky wheels) in the pitch black with the inevitable consequence of multiple pile-ups, yelps of pain as trolley met ankle or leg, and general carnage all around.

Thankfully the power came back on relatively quickly so the injury toll wasn't too bad.

Welcome back to Malawi, Sharife.
