tan rang to say that they saw continuous streams of indy-hatted women with flowing pink locks emerging from the plane – they waved and yodelled each time.

Apparantly your name was on the manifest, so mayhaps the flight was ok… isn’t it?

T and G are staying in singapore until your next flight – best make sure you get on it this time, hey what?

The ‘going to Auckland twice’ bit is presumably because they thought you had used the Kerikeri-Auckland leg, after which you should have gone directly to Singapore, since you had already stopped over in Auckland on the Nelson-Kerikeri bit.

It seems that helpful person in Napier who failed to charge you the correct amount also failed to do what she said!

It’s as well to remember the words of Marcus Aurelius at times like these. Whatever befalls us is, indeed, part of the great web.

Just so it’s crystal clear, Jul, the rules of the ticket allow a certain overall mileage but no return to the same place, apart from a ‘not leaving the airport’ stopover. At least, that’s how I understand it. So bear that in mind concerning Singapore. Also, the flight T&G are on is
SQ146 at 1400 on 6th July; returning SQ147 at 1955 on 25th July.

The Trading Post reopened yesterday. Apart from a different building, and smarter cash registers, the goods on sale and the people in red shirts are the same as before.

Have you already had your birthday, Tan? I mean, a ‘pretend’ birthday, before you left? Did we give you something, then?

ATENTION! belay that order i cannot, repeat cannot take the flight today. my entire ticket was cancelled for some insane reason, something about going to auckland twice or somthing. i got the entire thing reissured. i now fly to singapore on the fifth. much confusion. can someone cantact tan? does her phone work?

I am not sure how much the pen knife from granny cost, or the mag lite. if you pass the knife shop in Chi you could check, but i doubt it. and even if he did, they seem like the kibd of scoundrels who would demand proof of purchase and stuff!

Rather feel like coming home now…but hey, life goes on..

t

Most distressing jul. i’m sure you can go back and see her on a cheap flight as she is there for a year right? Well, see you on the morrow bunion.

I have a picture or two of scrumps which i take out and look at from time to time, and i shall miss him greatly. I hope the cursed bike driver had a nasty accident and was left on the road god rot him. Will phone from singapore with jul,

sadly,
Tan
