I've also lost your email address, by the way, so may I have it again, please? Actually, the Tsavo lions killed nearly 100 people, not all railway workers though. Er. I liked this entry a lot. And 'misty acacia' looks wonderful. I so, so need to see Africa now.....although I will take your advice about the camping! More later, I still have a lot of entries to see. Niru |

| 29th September 2006 Jake McMurchie | Hellooo - From: up and down the mountain Susie, you write so well! Have you got a job yet? Maybe travel-writing as a new career? |
| 28th September 2006 anonymous | Wow - yikes and another wow! - From: up and down the mountain Suze, people like you make me feel selfish. small minded and under travelled! Well done babe - and literally keep up the 'good work' Greg Boraman - London |
| 27th September 2006 Ludia | - From: up and down the mountain Elsie, is that for real or just a shot. I have over and over again bargained whether I should take the trip but I remember falling sick up Mt. Kenya and it scares me ending up like what am seeing. I don't do too good in cold climates. I pity the potters too dragging you down that mountain. Sorry girl, go down to dar, it must be much warmer, hope you feel better! |
| 25th September 2006 David | Awesome - From: up and down the mountain How fabulous to climb that high and live to tell about it. Wonderfully recounted I felt as if I were there gasping for breath. Hope Elsie has recovered. dt |

| 25th September 2006 Anna | - From: up and down the mountain Looks cool. but what happened to Elsie! |
| 15th September 2006 Nicole | I think I've seen the film... - From: He who praises rain has been rained on - Swahili proverb Hey Susie! Rain just forwarded me your blog url for the first time so I've got a lot of catching up to do. It looks and sounds like you're having some great adventures. Well... things are just as adventurous here in White City, why last week, I dared to try the pasta instead of my usual pizza order in the canteen and I have to say, it turned out 'OK'. :-) I think I saw the film you're referring to here on BBC Four - I have to say, though it sounds like he used some dubious methods for entry, it's difficult to see this film and not think that something has gone wrong somewhere along the way. If even some of the picture he's captured of the situation is even remotely right, it's quite sad. Definitely interesting viewing though. I'll look through your other entries - saw the pics in your bikini and you look fabulous!!! (nice tea cup too :-) Take care and travel safe, Nicole xx |
| 12th September 2006 branka Srenger | travels - From: Coke vs Horlicks I follow all your travels, very impressed by adventures and events that are happening.

| 27th June 2006 Mark | - From: The ever changing face of India Hey Susie Fancy closing some of these dastardly trac tickets you've left me with? There's only so many times I can write 'expected behaviour' without screaming ;-) Is running wild in the office and shouting expected behaviour? I think it probably is... Other news just in. We have Portugal in the quarters on saturday. Be fun to watch that in Goa (not that it's anywhere near you)... H11-14 is now a 9-month project... V leaves me for the States for 4 months - the day *after* the WC final. What will I do then? ... the rains are back and I'm wearing flip flops... the courtyard bar is still not open... we all got hammered at the work do... except Brett as I sent him to Belfast, ha ha ha... ttfn x |

You have a nice blog and hope you are enjoying your time there in Thanjavur district. To beat the heat, try "nungu" or a type of fleshy fruit from palm trees. They are available in abundance in Tamilnadu during summer time. Have a nice time. -Kannan |
| 5th June 2006 MArk E | - From: Your name's not on the list you're not coming in Hi Susie Back from Malaysia and all settled into KS3 (although KS1 is ongoing). So trying to catch up on your blogs. Sounds like you're having a whale of a time, you must be excited about school beginning. Malaysia was very cool, completely relaxing and stunning beaches. Had nothing to do but laze on the beach and snorkel with turtles. It can be a hard knock life at times... x |

| 17th May 2006 Brett | Enna kelvigal irunthithu? - From: Rebel with a Cause Brett/Mark/lila - imagine how knackered we were after each visit to a school. Now imagine doing that in 38 degree heat and with them all jabbering away in Tamil. Like when I went to Ealing with Rob in the middle of last summer when the school had us in a tiny upstairs room with all the huge iron radiators turned up to 11 probably. Although I don't think they spoke Tamil, in fact if I remember correctly, the blackboard had evidence of a previous lesson teaching the five year olds how to write complaining letters to the Daily Mail about shoddy service and the declining moral standards of the BBC. I copied the notes down needless to say... Glad you are enjoying the Tamil school experience, the kids may get their chance when all our jobs are outsourced to Calcutta. Brett/Mark/Sam - has history 2 taken off yet? That particular porker has still to be fitted with wings let alone find its way to a runway! |
| 16th May 2006 susieg | those were the days - From: You’re Nothing til you’re Somebody Else’s Project Aah, we all had fashionable knickerbockers once upon a time... |
| 15th May 2006 Grim | New BBC prog - From: You’re Nothing til you’re Somebody Else’s Project Dresses? Houses? How about Susie creates new BBC1 history doc: 'Curtains as fabric - 1980-1981'? (I know there's a programme in this, because my mum made me a pair of highly fashionable knickerbockers from some old purple velvet curtains in the heady summer of 1980.) Vicxx |
| 14th May 2006 Mum | All mothers are the same - From: You’re Nothing til you’re Somebody Else’s Project So Grandma insists on feeding everyone - what a strange concept! Good to know that we are all basically the same. Sounds to me that every night is a Friday night. Wish I could have heard your description of school - which one? Anyone ask about your scar??? Had not realised that this was another link in the Goldring/Clements chain! Miss you very much but really hope that you are enjoying life. Hugs and kisses from everyone.xxxxxxxx |

| 5th May 2006 Brett | Roaches! - From: Pondering in Pondicherry Hope you enjoy the book, I had hoped it wouldn't become relevant too soon... Enjoy it htough, other than the roaches it's full of sex, death, sewage and gluttony, those insects live one hell of a life. Great blog Susie - keep it up, I look forward to the novelisation and inevitable film adaptation. You're making it sound too redolent and enticing, we're all really fed up over here and more than willing to disconnect the P drive and head off Eastwards with our Phillips screwdrivers and our torches. Soon Pondicherry will be the next Provence and farmhouses all over India will be converted into middle class guest houses. |
| 3rd May 2006 the guppits | missing you already - From: Farewells Hi Susie, well its very kind of you to let our lovely son Noah dominate the pictures on your blog... we hope you are enjoying the wonders that India has to offer so far.
