No pain, no gain

Who would want to give up chocolate? Not many people, including me. Obviously I had a mad 2 minutes in which it seemed like a good idea, but that was weeks ago and I've come to my senses now. All too late though, I had already committed myself to the fabulous 'Stuff Your Rucksack' scheme for a trip to Nepal in April. This will see me forced to leave the kitchen sink behind and instead fill my rucksack with far more useful things to support the work of Nepal Schools Aid (UK) with disadvantaged children in Kathmandu.

Instead of financial support I am seeking donations of coloured paper/crayons/finger paints/maps/plastic letters to take to Nepal. If you would like to make a financial donation though, it would of course be very welcome. Please click on the link to My Charity page.
*Update - educational posters are also urgently needed as a priority!*

Day 17: Thank Crunchie it's Friday

Except, of course, Crunchies are off the menu.
Had a very sophisticated evening meeting friends in a pub in Leicester square and then trotted into Chinatown for some food. There were some cross stroppy moments about menus with Shark Fin soup on the menu (and, more weirdly, fried shark fin with scrambled egg) and some wonderful protest ordering featuring grilled tiger and side dishes of panda.
I also finished reading 'The Slap' by Christos Tsiolkas, which was completely brilliant (but full of sex and swearing so definitely not suitable for younger readers).
Next up, my lucky dip find in the public library this week - Around The World In A Bad Mood by Rene Foss.
