Arrived at Samye Ling!

1:20 p.m.
              Just had my lunch and I'm waiting here in the cafe till I can get hold of Germe in the reception at half one. No bother with the nicotine withdrawals (yet!). Well, that was about as long a spell smoking than I've had for a while. Probably pretty constant for over two weeks. Anyway, not having tobacco or drink has never bothered me down here.
              One of these times I'd like to stay at home for a whole week!

I say!

You've escaped the riots. Good for you!

I asked the staff if they knew why there were riots.

Doviko said that he'd heard that the rains had failed in parts of England, and he assumed that bread riots had followed as a result.

Wilson's answer was much more to the point. "Sir" he said "it's because they have stopped teaching how to play cricket in many schools in England."

As the saying goes, a little further north of here: "Mtumbwi hauwezi kujua panapokuwa pamejaa maji."

I think that says it all.

Hotters. Regarding the stress of having to keep traveling instead of staying at home. The cellmate settled in at the old woman's house for several months. You could always try that.

Albert? I assume the old woman was her mother and that she'd lived in the house before??? Hotboy

Hope it is not raining as hard there as it is here.

Good luck with that dragon.

Marie! pouring down!

Hotters. Not being related to the woman, and staying in a house where you haven't been whacked in half the rooms, would surely help. Newmains should be a holiday camp for you. Free lodgings, and no off sales to blow your dosh. Why bother with Samye!

Albert? There is the same offy as in Edinburgh right across the road. I lived off rolls the last time I was there. It's not a retreat, so it's much harder than anything. Hotboy
