Kuala Lumpur, 6.30am, Saturday 17 Jan, 2008
Left Auckland yesterday, eleven hour flight whistled by, arrived here about 8pm KL time. flight consumed by inane films, and endless tiny packets of peanuts. At times the flight temperature reached what seemed coolstore temperatures. Straits Times, stories I can remember:ferry disaster in Indonesia, hundresds dead about a week ago, can’t remember rreading about it in NZ papers, typical; a woman drags a a body stuck under her car for 3kms without realising it; Bangladesh’s envoy to Malaysia has beene ordered to reurn home to face trial for 1975 assisnation of one of Bangladesh’s founding father’s; an eledrly man has been acquitted of murder after killing his best friend because he thought he was a ghost… he was 97, pretty close; and the New Zealand story- prime minister angry after car company charging tourists for not returning their car after they were crushed under ice.
it is a ymmmy balmy hot outside, the hotel room has a wallowing cigarette smell, there is still some hair from the previous occupant in the shower.
Queenie won’t let me finish, she wants breakfast… tbc
Good to hear first step of mission accomplished. Tell Queenie bag and money is safe in the TiggyBank and probably earning interest. Steady progress on house tidy-up here. Even the oven cleaned, with Max’s help. This is being typed on our new Mac – woohoooo – its fantastic.
But yet to discover how to make the print larger so i can see typo’s, love to you two
