September 2007


I’m in the UK. Pentonville Rd, Islington to be exact, in a small cafe that reeks of cooking fat. They have excellent coffee, free internet, but my cholesterol level is skyrocketing simply by sitting here.

Speaking of which, yesterday I purchased a tandoori chicken roll with salad for lunch. The woman beside me, who had a young daughter in a pram with her, purchased a sausage and chip batty. For those uneducated in English cusine, this is a sausage and chips in a buttered roll. Its the sort of thing you eat if you are attempting to walk to the South Pole, naked, wearing roller skates.

‘Good luck with the trek’ I murmured as she paid. 

Well it wasn’t quite the deluge of reflection I’d been hoping for, but thanks to Hamo and Iqbal (and Zac) for taking the time. Useful thoughts, and you three may now select a cartoon or photo of your choice, and it will be duly printed, signed, sent.

Just to add to the present predicament, I have been contacted by a development organisation in Cambodia who are seeking an Executive Director…. am I interested?
