How you continue to make me laugh whilst describing what can only be described as a living horror movie, is beyond comprehension..... but chin up, enjoy what ever you can and love to you both....

Na asti vivaadin gaurava asvada! Excuse the feral pidgin Sanskrit I’m in the car (no I’m not driving but the Mondeo really does let you experience every winding turn and bump). Enjoy them pies commander x

Actually it’s cos I’m the offspring of an old sea dog aka McBriny- bog dialect pronounces ‘i’ as ‘ai’. Xx

You are so right. And in fact the lovely Sherpa brought some of our favourite Bastard Pies in the provisions hamper for the mission, which we will be consuming on our rest day.

Not a big expert of Latin, but "De pondere gustus non est disputandum" feels about right given what I remember from high school and what I could find in Wiktionary.

Mapa Carcinoma illustrations are incredibly good, I 'like' although I hope you march straight past that Impossible Pie Factory, maybe consider vegetarianism for a wee while? Sending you a restful 2 days 'off', will be back with you on Monday for the start of your onward journey to The Dire Straits xxx
