Today is Wrigley appreciation day.
At least, it is in the 3JD camp. After a couple of pretty brutal weeks which have seen the team spending massive amounts of money on fixing our poor car, tying up bureaucratic loose ends and gaining access to Iran, we were all feeling fairly low.
Thankfully spirits have been re-buoyed today in light of the incredibly generous donations received by the beautiful supporter of all things philanthropic and ridiculous; Miss Giselle Wrigley and by her esteemed parents Jo and Kevin.
Thanks so much for your support guys! We really do appreciate it, and if we notice any Mongolian families who need the floors of their gers screeding I'll be sure to pass on your number Kevin :D
In addition to heaping gratitude on to the (entirely deserving) Wrigleys I also wanted to keep everyone up to date with current 3JD affairs. We spent last weekend sweating profusely in the embassy of Islam and in return for several gallons of perspiration and a small fortune in golden sovereigns we have been allowed to submit our fingerprints to the Iranian embassy who will hopefully offer us all visas to travel through their country!
We have been having a fair bit of trouble with a petrol leak on our car recently and so the better part of this weekend will be spent trying to stop the Alto from pouring flammable liquids on to every available surface. With all luck the replacement tank we've had to buy will solve the problem and she'll soon be slowly accelerating her way towards Mongolia with a greatly reduced risk of explosion.
In addition to pretending we know what we're doing when it comes to fixing cars we will also be making a return visit to Julia's House Hospice this weekend to take part in a photo shoot and meet some of the children they help. Hopefully we'll be updating again soon with a write up!
There's plenty more 3JD news on the way and a few updates that are worthy of their own posts so keep your eyes on the horizon for further blogging and website updates in the not-to-distant future.
