• 30lb Lighter

    Hello I was correct. M did stop eating while at the Houston Deportation Centre and has returned some 30lb lighter than he set off. He always loses weight when he does an appreciable amount of flying (so much flying to do, so little time to eat...) but 30lb in a short time is rather excessive and he looks...

  • Heading Home to the UK

    Hello Have received some encouraging news from FCO this afternoon (Thurs.). M is expected to be home soon. I have had no opportunity to speak to him but I gather that he has telephoned friends in Texas. I am told that he does not sound too well. I was probably correct in my assumption that he would stop...

  • Nil Information

    Hello (Monday pm) M's friend travelled to Austin deportation centre to visit m today - M is allowed one person to visit for one hour once a week - Monday between 9am and 1pm. He was not allowed access to M as M is in "segregation"? Our equivalent of solitary confinement, I suppose. On receiving...

  • Only One Step Up From Jail

    Good evening (Sunday pm) Still no positive news. I understand that M will be deported, probably within 10 working days if all is straightforward (can any of this be straightforward - none has been so far). I haven't spoken to M for 10 days and hope that he is OK. I suspect that that he's bearing...

  • In Front of the Judge Wednesday

    Good morning I haven’t spoken to M as there seems to be a problem with our landline – lots of buzzing and whirring and intermittent stops (probably overhanging branches). He has left a very brief message on my mobile phone. It sounds as though the situation is becoming more serious – if I am reading...

  • Around the World Update

    As part of my round the world solo attempt, I am about to leave for the Caribbean to look for Liberty Girl, my WWII Piper Cub, along the shore line of the Bahamas. In February while en route from the Dominican Republic to the Turks and Caicos Islands, bound for Florida, she suffered total engine failure...
