In the news for the wrong reasons

Those of you who have read the blurb about me over to the right will know that I have worked in both Kenya and in Peshawar, Pakistan. It is sad to find both countries in the news today for all the wrong reasons. Praying for all those affected.

Chris Froome, who grew up in Kenya, on his twitter feed today said, 'My thoughts are with those affected by this horrendous attack'. In an early tweet he said, 'Feel ridiculous for being nervous about the TTT today while people are busy being held at gunpoint in Nairobi #perspective #westgate ' [TTT = team time trial].

On a different note one of the drivers in the Grand Prix this afternoon whose car broke down on the final lap commented, 'someone somewhere is having a worse day than me'.

Yes, Mark, yes they are.
