Listing all the things I needed to do before leaving was an excellent plan. At least it has given me a concrete understanding of what it was I didn't get around to doing. Off to Heathrow ! Who knows where I'll be the next time I get to update this… I reckon I'll reveal the…

Heathrow really takes all the fun out of flying, doesn't it ? Never mind… I'm now here to tell you about my hotel room in Delhi, because I haven't organised to go outside yet (although that's immediately next on the agenda after posting this). Truthfully I've only really spent any time in my hotel room,…

Am doing the final packing & tidying & getting organised, although for the first time before a long haul trip I wasn't up til 5am feverishly sorting through stuff to take ! Must be getting old…

Annie: 42 Wazza: 27 Creog: 143 Quntley Fortescue: 73 HB: 47 Charlie: 64 Steve T: 37 smange: 120 Douggy: 1.5 (I suspect suddenly someone's not taking this seriously) Karen: 71 Lynn: 58 NickyZ: 160 kt: 64 And counting… keep 'em coming !

Time seems to be evaporating in front of me at the minute; have been working stupid hours to get this project out by Friday, as my contract finishes and I can't stand leaving a job half done. The sense of countdown is exacerbated by the fact that I leave for India next Thursday for 6…

Musicals seem to be the order of the day right now, and last Monday Helen, Hilary, one of Helen's friends whose name escapes me, an uncharacteristically enthusiastic Richie, and I went along to see Wicked – the Broadway behemoth featuring the talented green chick.

Turned up for the first morris practise of the season on Wednesday, and there was a new bloke there.
