Shonah's entry

Namaste! (Hello in Nepalese)

How is everyone? I hope you are all good.
Well we made it back yesterday as you will have gathered from Dicky's entry and we had a few cocktails last night to celebrate!. The trek was fantastic and i certainly feel like i have worked the old muscles. Can't believe i managed to walk bout 100 miles with a 10kg backpack on! Am chuffed. One day i found it very very hard though when we had to ascend 1900m in about 6 hours... my little legs cained and i got in a bit of a grump but only for a min! lol!

Today in Pokorah they are starting the new year celebrations which is really strange! I didn't find this out till last night. New years eve is next fri i think.

Mum Tulip,
Yes the air does get thin but i managed to breath fine all the way.We didn't really notice the lack of Oxygen although at one point it was only 65%. You would love all the mountail Asses (i think they are donkeys crossed with horses?) Meybe this is called a mule... i don't know. They carry huge packs and climb up what are basically cliff faces! . Wow! a parade is going past the door with Elephants in it! The Elephant stopped out the door of the internet cafe and did the biggest pile of poo i have EVER EVER EVER seen and wee. Anyway... my face is fine, will get Rich 2 put a pic on soon I am wintering well as you would say! My legs are very strong after trekking so i can kick anyone in incase of an attack!
Your method of making pointing cement sounds good! I can just picture you rolling a bucket around the yard! .

Rosa and Ali Banter

Howe good 2 hear from u both! Sounds like come the end of the year we will all have real jobs! hopefully we will also have plenty of money then too and can afford to do lovely thingfs together! (like go out in Consett !! LOL hahahaha!) Like the old days, then go for hot hobs!. Meybe will be able to afford to do something more sophisticated? who knows! We havve put a deposit on a flat to rent in Newc starting in July so there is always a spare room there if you want to ever come and stay which i would love. You could both come together perhaps and we will throw Rich out for the night (send him 2 Wadders house?). That would be fun! Will b great having u back up North Ali!
Yeay
My love always to you both
