For the first time I’m reading today’s blog in the evening... leaving me exhausted and will, in future return to morning missive perusal....

Sadly when we were in India, for a short trip (3 weeks) and not on gap year... I missed out on street Dahl as we felt it was too risky to shorten our already short trip by requiring urgent facilities at inconvenient moments...... and as for the blinkin Bothy.. how dare it create a further problem for poor Sherpa Shirl to deal with....

Hope the ride on Mr McMorphine is sweetness and light.... keep any spares .... we will all need some by the end of this trip!!! Xxxx

Good to know that your loyal Sherpa can not only identify the cock stop but can also swiftly obtain one of the cock stoppers to resolve your Sunday morning sprinkling. However somewhat concerned to hear that her kale Mickey Finn behaviour will be denied her. Can’t wait to see your posts once the morphine kicks in! xxx

I’ve heard that cock stopping skill is in the early part of the Sherpa training manual....

Is there also a section on Maintaining camp morale through judicious use of smutty humour?

No no... its a well known plumbing technique ..... although thinking about it the person in charge of naming plumbing accoutrements also felt the need to include nipples and caps 😱

Exactly, how much weirder/more entertaining can he get ? Bring on the morphine for The Commander and us all to appreciate !
