Before we went out I was told the chefs would cook anything we wanted. This is a lie as they're all vegetarian and at best we got some scraggy chicken I was scared to eat as the bones were so brittle they were shattered inside the food. I was sick to death of the food by the time we left, but so happy not to have to do it myself.

Didn't get a stomach upset, ate 3 meals a day (for the first time since I was about 15 and still lost weight. It's the . Must stay off it!

Lovely to see you back, Mina

So what happened?

What did you think of *India*?

Dusty, dirty, complete absence of women from any village social event had me completely speechless on a number of occasions.

It's lovely and sunny, but dusty. People living in towns with cows wandering through the shops, and piles of rubble everywhere. Half demolished buildings with people apparently living there and hanging out their washing, monkeys on the motorway barriers. Washing drapped over barbed wire fences, laid out on the ground, frogs in the shower and in the toilet, scorpian watch in the mornings for our shoes, squirrelly type things chewing holes in our washing, washing drying when hung out overnight! Wonderful dancing from the school we visited, where shall I start??

Oh, someone told me about the monkeys. In the cities, they can be quite a plague entering the buildings and playing with your paperwork (throwing it all around the place -- basically, doing what you would like to do if you didn't have to send it back the next day )

Maybethey are looking for the typewriters?

Of course!
