DAY 235 (Saturday 24 March 2012)

Today was a lazy day for me, no hangover, but then I only had a couple of drinks, considering it was a free bar too I thought I did well.

Tomorrow is bike ride day, it’s only going to be a short one for me as I need to get back into the swing of things and the one thing I don’t relish is having to battle against the nutters who think they can drive, as far as the locals are concerned, it doesn’t really matter what side of the road they are supposed to be on, if there is an ounce of tarmac (if you are lucky) available they think it is their god given right to use it.

DAY 234 (Friday 23 March 2012)

Today was a good day for me as I actually had a day off which was ideal as it gave me chance to sort out any last minute ironing that I had to do for my Summer Mess dress that I was having to wear to the BGN Ball which was held tonight.

The Ball itself was actually alright, it was held at the Soaltee Crown Plaza HOTEL here in Kathmandu.  The food was really good, especially the desert station that had a Chocolate Fountain


There were 15 prizes for the raffle and the top prize was a free flight back to the UK from Ethiad Airlines (and their flights aren’t cheap), unfortunately I didn’t win any prizes but the top prize was won by the COS wife Sue (fix springs to mind).

Anyway a good night was had by all and the drinking ……….as far as I know carried on to the wee small hours of Saturday as it was Midnight when I left on the first transport (no I managed not to turn into a pumpkin).

DAY 233 (Thursday 22 March 2012)

No news to report.

DAY 232 (Wednesday 21 March 2012)

No news to report.

DAY 231 (Tuesday 20 March 2012)

The most exciting thing that I did today was to book my flights home to the UK for some leave during June and what is more I will be able to go and see the MOTO GP at Silverstone whilst I am home, good timing or what.

Charlie and me are dog sitting for my RAO (Maj Les McCulloch) whilst he and his wife go to Calcutta for a couple of days, he is working but Jackie has gone for a swan (shopping).  Bridie is a lovely little spaniel and all she wants is attention and to play ball.

No news to report.

DAY 229 (Sunday 18 March 2012)

MOTHER’S DAY

Nothing much happened today, we were supposed to be getting up and going for a bike ride but it never happened as I was still aching from the sports that I did on Thursday, so I just curled up back under the duvet for another hour or so.  I did however; get all my ironing done and a couple of letters written.
