Dharamsala, India.

This is a post of nothing much other than to say thunder and lightning storms at 3000metres in the Himalayas are exhilarating; monks talking on cellphones are an everyday fact of life but still make me look twice; there is no upper limit on the amount of tea one can have in a day; it feels like real trade when buying clothes from the machinist who made them, their sewing machines sitting amongst the racks in the shop; reading Gandhi's autobiography in India brings a lot of clarity; Tibet needs to be free; there is no space too narrow for an auto-rickshaw to fit through and blankets made from yak wool are very cozy.

  1. It's a teacher only day at school today. It's Tuesday. We've just has Queen's Birthday weekend and I've had a busy time. I'll rry to get some sleep at school today. It's wet - a yak blanket would be nice.

  4. Albania and Yes, in answer to your questions. I seem to have been non-stop since landing in Istanbul three weeks ago. I land in London on the 19th of July so hopefully will post something then, and restart abusing you on your blog. Enjoy your holidays!

  6. Nicola. Best to stay away. The blogging community is getting too weird. Do not - I repeat do not open TSB's latest post.
