Silly season
And today, on the front page of the Namibian, Namibia’s main daily English newspaper, appears an article, complete with photo, about the fire brigade rescuing a seven month old cat named Jessy from a very tall tree. The article is extraordinarily detailed, listing all the heroic firemen by name, and describing three attempts to remove Jessy from the tree, all of which involved spraying the cat with water from a hosepipe.Â
Fortunately, I know you will all be relieved to hear, “Jessy was exhausted and a bit stressed but generally doing well after her ordealâ€. We can all breath a sigh of relief.
Is it any wonder I’ve got bloody cabin fever? IS THERE NOTHING ELSE TO WRITE ABOUT?  Â
Oh, no, it’s ok. There’s also an article about Brad and Angelina Jolie-Pitt, and their imminent return to Namibia. Thank god for intelligent journalism.Â

Looks like Brad and Ange got sick of Asia then. They were knocking around Saigon for a while. They got a lot of stick for not wearing helmets and there for setting a bad example by not wearing helmets when Brad drove a scooter.
I actually thought they looked rather cool. They would have looked such dorks as the only pair in Saigon with lids on.
Anyway, any chance you can send them over to Nicaragua to help. I’ve yet another streetkid restaurant to raise money for.
New blog is up and running, imaginatively entitled Our Man in Granada. I spent a lot of time on that.
