Its the 15th today, which means that I have been here for exactly one month! This is the longest I have been away from the UK. Things I miss: hot showers, or indeed showers of any temperature, the high street in Exeter, and ham, mayo and Mrs Ball's chutney sandwiches. Sorry if you didn't make the list! Things I don't miss: the cold, the general animosity of the British public, and northerners! (I'm not sure I can get away with that last one – let me know if I went too far!)
And please do not forget my birthday. I am concerned by the lack of demand for my postal address. (Well done Sarah Hunt for promising me chocolate, Keith and Pam for giving me chocolate in advance, Cat for sending me strudel from Vienna – Liane, where is my croissant? and Aunty Julia for sending me a letter - I got it this week). To the rest of you, quite frankly I’m disappointed. Poor show. (Unless of course you're thinking of giving your gifts to Suzanna to bring in November. Just remember that she is only allowed to bring two suitcases, so any larger gifts – Ferraris, jet planes, giant Toblerones etc, should be shipped separately).
