westernind | Back now...

... from holiday, having successfully avoided all forms of internet-based communication for 23 days. In fact, mostly completely free of any form of telecommunication. All vestiges of incipient RSI have vanished. Incidentally there is no way I'm going to undo the good work by trawling back through LJ. Please tell me anything I've missed, or posts you'd like me to read? I've screened comments by default.

I have heard about Mike - but haven't been told how it happened.

Mongolia was everything we hoped it would be. No lasting sickness or injury incurred, not even when I fell off a suddenly horizontal horse into a freezing glacial stream during a hailstorm. We kept a journal throughout, and I was thinking of maybe transcribing it, mostly because both sets of handwriting are pretty dire and after a while I might not be able to remember what I wrote, let alone Simon. However, it's factual and personal rather than a piece of Great Travel Writing; very much 'wot we did on our holidays'.

[Edited to add - will unscreen anything that isn't confidential/private.]
