| 21st May 2008 Alia | - From: Wrestling snakes bare-handed... Oh......the dogs and snakes! I wish I was there with you. Please take tons of photos. Yuba Raj said he met up with you again in Delhi. Can't wait to hear more stories. Be safe. xoxo |
| 21st May 2008 The Brummies | Come on! Come on! - From: Wrestling snakes bare-handed... Come on, come on! You can't skive off in the middle - we need more news, and now - not tomorrow! Don't allow food to get in the way. You know what the monk said, 'Shally, I think you came two years ago and then you were thin. Now you are a little bit fat' - so don't let food stop you. Anyway that was about 6 hours ago; are you still eating?? Hope all goes well with the strike; trust it to happen now! Allswell here. Renovations creeping along but hopefully the bedroom and bathroom will be ready for Sue and Bill. Take care And now ......it's time to to have a blow out. Whfuff, the food I have got in the fridge; you would not believe it! Lol XXXXXXXXXXX |
| 16th May 2008 Smudgees Mum | 4* hotels are more your thing.... - From: Very nasty Varanasi....... i'm glad to hear you have moved somewhere nicer. Sounds like your travels are exciting (of course) and full of dramas (what else would we expect!). Have fun! C x |
| 12th May 2008 Mr Coach | Empowering the Coaching Relationship - From: Very nasty Varanasi....... Hello, Sally. Seems like your having a very interesting time. Your blog is very inspiring and you should be very proud of what you have done to date. You've not mentioned whether you've attempted to coach anyone yet. Although, I can see you are definitely empowering yourself. Talk about reframing negative statements and overcoming limiting beliefs! Moving to an air-con hotel overlooking the ganges was a master stroke. Well done! I look forward to your next entry. In the meantime, I trust you will remember to touch yourself appropriately... to anchor your positive state when you need it most. Enjoy your journey. Keep smiling |
| 10th May 2008 Teresia Quinn | Wow Sally - From: The heat is on......!! Hi Sal, great to see you on the road again - enjoy. Glad you're a smug vegetarian...I'm still an omnivore but if it came to bird flu in India I might just try veggies only. Love Tess and the family (who haven't seen a dentist for goodness knows how long.....) |
| 11th July 2006 Quinnthefinn | This is much better than postcards. - From: Did you wash round your Bindi?? ( this one's for Alia!) Sooo glad to see a lifesign - Paul and I were beginning to wonder... Knew you'd be ok, a braver person than you we've seldom met! I think I'd prefer the mountains than the heat, even here in WsM we had around 30C the other week which made it difficult to sleep!We're off to Finland in a couple of weeks for the summer, and I can get to an internet cafe quite easily every now and again from the island, to follow your adventures. Do take care, although I know you do, with those rabid animals, used to be one of the bigger scares in Africa. The monkeys sound rather nasty, I did not like the baboons in Africa, nor the 'apes' on Gibraltar, one of whom attacked Anja last Easter. Still haven't found another dentist... I haven't tried too hard, although I should as our 6 month check is due...Scott had his GCSEs and is now hoping for at least 5 C's to get him into 6th form in Churchill in Sept. Results not out until we get back from Finland in the end of August.You wouldn't believe how he's grown the last 6 months, much taller than I now. Love Tess xx |
| 26th June 2006 mad dog mo | Me??Accident prone?? - From: India's gonna be interesting.... Actually the above is not quite true. I slipped on a very wet and slippery bathroom floor but nothing worse than bruises!...and the ankle is ok!! |
| 25th June 2006 The Brummies | Hi Grumpie Rumball - From: India's gonna be interesting.... Now you've gone she's fallen in another hole in the road!!!!! - only minor injuries this time. Why do they make the roads with holes in them out there? It's a wonder she didn't have a heart attack with that taxi trauma and the heat along with all she was carrying. Think she needs resident medical care. she seems to find all the holes in the road! Thank you for all the extraordinary help you gave her when she was so disabled (and also to Mike, if he is reading) - You were both GREAT friends - we don't know how she would have managed without you. Are you back in NY now? - or still travelling? Regards, The Brummies (Mad dogs Mum and dad) |
| 25th June 2006 mad dog mo | please bring rumballs.... - From: India's gonna be interesting.... If that is grumpy rumball slave posing as anonymous again, please bring supplies, I am running low! x |
| 24th June 2006 anonymous | - From: India's gonna be interesting.... Damn cabbies. Good for nothing. Go MO! |
| 8th June 2006 mad dog mo | Scarey Spice....... - From: How many ways do you know to kill a mosquito? Helloooo!! Long time no speak. Glad you are enjoying- don't know whether even Nic had read it though!! How's Phil getting on? ( you can email me on that one- Nic has my travel email) . Things get better- am now living in a monastery ( VERY INTERESTING!!!)- Will update all shortly. Sister mad dog mo xx |
| 7th June 2006 SCarey | 3 months!!! & I'm hooked on your blog! - From: How many ways do you know to kill a mosquito? Hi Sal, can't believe you've been away so long & Nic has only just given me your blog address. I've just spent the last 1 hour catching up on all you've been doing & seeing your fab photos. Of couse, the thing I can believe is how much of a drama everything has been ;-) Only you can tour the world via hospitals and doctors!! Serioulsy, hope your ligament is healing up well & you are planning your departure. Take care & keep up the entertaining blog!! Cxxxx |
| 1st June 2006 mad dog mo | Still keeping Mark Warner in business??!! - From: How many ways do you know to kill a mosquito? Toby Hammond!Typical bloody man on a typical male time schedule! Don't worry I've only been away 3 months and now you pop your head up and say 'hi!'. If you've found some more work for me in Turkey I'll catch my flight and be on my way!I'm sure your MW bar stories will make a better Mills and Boon bestseller than mine. In the meantime I've heard reports that my car is missing its normal gastronomical treats of you shoving your home-made rock cakes up its exhaust ........ |
| 31st May 2006 anonymous | - From: How many ways do you know to kill a mosquito? Hi Sal, got on your blog for the first time today expecting a few lines not a bloody novel - still, changed a couple of names, ignored your copyright bull...t and i,ve now got a publisher interested in Toby's Travel Adventure. There's a lot of things I'd like to comment on but reckon I should keep it clean as it sounds like everyone is reading this - so haven't got too much to say. We,re off to Mark Warner in a few weeks so dont worry I'll send your love to Mustapha who still tells all the guests stories of your topless dentistry around the pool. Anyway Sal glad to hear you're in one piece and having fun Toby x |
| 26th May 2006 The brummies | This is the funniest yet! - From: How many ways do you know to kill a mosquito? Where do you think it all up from, Sal? This blog has had me in fits. More of this stuff please. You should be writing sit coms, books, or in journalism - you are wasted in Medicine! Lol xxx |
| 22nd May 2006 Shukra and Joachim | poor u - From: showering, dressing and socialising on one leg... Dear Sal, We are sorry to hear about the latest happenings in Kathmandu. We hope your slaves are serving you well. You are such a bloody drama queen, can´t you just travel like a normal person and not lose things and do your self injuries? Bristol has obviously not prepared you for roughing it. Maybe Kathmandu lies too high above sea- level and you should stick to flatter grounds. Joachim says that even the Black Forest might prove too dangerous for you - you´d need good ankle supports. Anyway sweet, we´re hoping you can stand on your own two feet very soon. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Missing you. Lots of love, hugs and kisses, Shukra and Joachim |
| 22nd May 2006 mad dog mo | LOL!! - From: showering, dressing and socialising on one leg... That was grumpy slave writing sitting at a computer opposite me!!... Who then went out and bought me rum balls!So life here ain't that bad!! I am training him up to be as good as slave no1 ( water bomber) who quit the job today as he couldnt keep me adequately supplied in rum balls! No seriously, the remaining member of my group left today to go to India ( sob!) so I'm on my own again ( excluding my disabled leper colony friends of course) |
| 22nd May 2006 anonymous | harem of slaves? - From: showering, dressing and socialising on one leg... damn well I take offense to that... but before I complain lets go over the complexity of a phrase "harem of slaves". Slave is an unpaid worker who has to obey every order under threat of being punish or possibly killed... Harem is a group of beautiful women/men that provide pleasures (sexual/sensuals) to the master... Now I carry you around (so you can use the loo multiple times a day) willingly (or I don't want you to pee on yourself) so there goes the slave part. I also bring you Rum Balls willingly so you don't mess up your leg doing Bugs Bunny up and down Kathmandu finest roads. And as far as the harem part goes: I rest my case since gentelman never speaks. And besides that I'm the only "slave" you've got left so you better be nice to me. |
| 22nd May 2006 mad dog mo | clomp thud clomp thud clomp!! - From: showering, dressing and socialising on one leg... .....the sound of me shuffling down the corridor! Hi Tess and thanks for your best wishes!It's not a major diasaster as long as no permanent damage- it forces me to slow down and take some time out , read some books on nepalese history etc ( ha ha!as if! ). Besides India is having a heatwave at the mo! Had heard on the grapevine ref some Finnish heavy metal band and Eurovision- you must be delighted!!! Now monsoony over here and heavy rain and thunder outside...oh well will just have to send out for some cappuccino and goodies!! |
| 21st May 2006 Quinnthefinn | Oh Sally..... - From: showering, dressing and socialising on one leg... I can't bear this happening to you! You do make me laugh though, but believe me we are all sending strenghthening thoughts to you and hope your ankle gets better very soon. Does this mean you're stuck in Kathmandu? My brother's parents-in-law spent some years in Kathmandu and they said it was quite a busy city, I've got a little Nepalese rucksack they gave me. And a hand puppet! On another note-Finland won the Eurovision song contest! First time ever, so now I'm the local hero in Weston-super-Mare! Keep writing, we look forward everyday to see if there's anything new from you, Love Tess xx |
| 11th May 2006 Quinnthefinn | Yes,..beautiful but dangerous. - From: Losing weight with the help of a few friends....... That was a great blog Sally, I'm so glad you're enjoying and feeling moved by the mountains. Paul and I have unfortunately more than 1 friend who has met their end close to where you are. You may know I pushed for Paul to become a professional musician rather than the mountaineer which was his other choice; I found out you see, that the average life expectancy of such a one is something like 40 years.... but what a life, eh? Lots of love and hope you feel better soon, Tess xx |
| 2nd May 2006 pot bellied English girl | Just trying to take it all in! - From: China/Tibet Overland: Yakkety yak, public toilets which make catheterisation look an appealing option, sky burials, pot-bellied pigs and birthdays (with cakes which taste like wallpaper paste)!! Wow Sally - sounds like you are just having the most incredible time - your toilet stories remind me of mine in India! Tibet is a place i have always wanted to visit so am deeply jealous! Scenery looks stunning - i want to be there!! p.s. Can definitely compete with those pigs on the belly front - getting more rounded by the day! - will email properly soon to your other address xx |
| 1st May 2006 mad dog mo | The mountains are so beautiful....... - From: Lllllliving it up in Lhasa ( where did all the oxygen go???!!) Hi Tess- good to hear from you! Still enjoying the blogging and my Bangkok blog has had around 160 hits now ( in fact quite a few have over 100) so somebody must be reading them! I'll keep writing as long as people keep reading! Did some yoga in brilliant sunshine and fresh mountain air with buddhist chanting in the background on our rooftop today ( so stunning views!)- it was pure bliss ! Tibet really IS amazing! |
| 29th April 2006 Quinnthefinn | how we long for mountains... - From: Lllllliving it up in Lhasa ( where did all the oxygen go???!!) At last another blog from you, we're having withdrawal symptoms! Never been to Tibet - sounds fantastic. Spent a few years in Switzerland so we know how gorgeous snow capped mountains are. Be careful, they make you long for more! And Weston-super-Mare won't satisfy that as you know! Lots of love and hope to read more soon, Tess and Paul x |
| 17th April 2006 Teresia Quinn | Good luck in China etc - From: Bye for now! Literally back from Spain, did not get any blogging done however. Have a great adventure Sally, I understand both China and Mongolia are exeptionally beautiful places in their own ways, with exeptionally friendly people. Hope your bank card troubles sort themselves out, love Tess x |
| 17th April 2006 THE BRUMMIES | Yum, yum - From: "You you where you go?"." I just walk and lookee". ''you take tuktuk 10 baht anywhere". " I no want 10 baht tuk tuk I like walk" .......... Yum, yum and we thought that you were vegetarian. Why no photo of the scorpions - have you eaten them all? |
| 7th April 2006 THE BRUMMIES | Being run over by an elephant is not cool! - From: Boiling, bustling , barmy Bangkok : Buddhas, baht, beasts of burden, beautiful babes, and fat balding blokes ( wearing safari suits, socks and Jesus sandals) More photos please, Sal. Love the pictorial additions to the previous blogs and remember, being run over by an elephant is NOT cool! Lolxx |
| 5th April 2006 mad dog mo | dragged screaming and kicking..... - From: Leaving New Zealand: The inventory Sorry John u were right and we had to drag you out to the pub- I seem to rememer somebody was so desperate for that drink they left their onion half peeled on the kitchen table! The guide is coming in fantastically useful ( thanks), and I increased my good karma by donating my NZ guide to a good cause! Enjoy your trip Tess, and look forawrd to your blog too! x |
| 3rd April 2006 bullybones | out of the blue person... - From: Leaving New Zealand: The inventory ...glad to see I made such an impression! Hope the guide´s coming in handy and the hangover´s gone. I arrived in Santiago and promptly fell asleep...for 18 hours! I blame a similar inability to be rude and say no... Johnx |
| 2nd April 2006 Quinnthefinn | Bon voyage - From: Leaving New Zealand: The inventory Have a good trip - never been to Thailand but have good friends from there. We're off to a slightly less exotic place tomorrow for a couple of weeks, visisting mum-in-law in Southern Spain. Good weather forcast. I may write a small blog from there, we'll see. Glad your bites are better, the ping-pong ball however is more disturbing! Tess xx |
| 1st April 2006 mad dog mo | thanks.... - From: Sandflies vs Humans: the big food chain debate........ for kind comments. Theresa have just started to read your blog ( forgot it was on here until now!)- especially like day 4 description of sunrise; but where are all the photos of you?!! |
| 1st April 2006 mad dog mo | - From: jumping, swinging and screaming my way round Queenstown Hi Trude- I'm not really! I just figured the grief I'd get for not doing any 'adventure' sport at Queensland would be worse long term than the temporary grief attached to doing this! I also followed the saying 'look before you leap'.....only in my case I glanced before I ambled, and that was enough....! x |
| 31st March 2006 Troodles! | - From: jumping, swinging and screaming my way round Queenstown Sally you brave girl! I am well impressed! Brill photos! keep them coming. Cant wait for the next episode! xxx |
| 29th March 2006 Quinnthefinn | Great to see photos on here - From: Sandflies vs Humans: the big food chain debate........ Me again - yes we are enjoying Sally's blog! You seem to have got our camera sorted, well done, Love Tess x |
| 28th March 2006 The Brummies | Loving your Blog - From: Sandflies vs Humans: the big food chain debate........ Loving your Blog. Hope others are enjoying it as much as we are! Keep up the adventuring and let us know all about it. Is anyone else enjoying it? |
| 27th March 2006 Quinnthefinn | This is too funny....wish I was there! - From: Blown away by the Tongariro Crossing! Hi Sally, I am enjoying your blog enormously - haven't laughed this much for weeks! (Great anitidote to the dentist's letter last Friday advising us that Mr Spittal is going completely private......we miss you!). Really, your travels sound great, I know it may be hard going at the time but it's wonderful that you are putting so much into it. And it sounds like you're meeting lots of good people. Sorry about your photos. Lots of love Tess, Paul, Scott and Anja xx |
