not to oversleep on the 19th - 'Bolette' sails that evening on a 93 day 'Round Africa' cruise - it looks rather attractive.

As for myself, I'm off on Sunday to explore old haunts, and meet old friends in Nepal, so I'm not around from now until the end of the month. To quote Kipling: "If you've 'eard the East a-callin', you won't never 'eed naught else."

Proper little gad-abouts aren't we?
