…anyone for toasted marshmallows?

Tonight I have gone to bed. It’s my 18th night here. The night time ritual is as follows… 1) Remove torch from under pillow and wind up ….2) Unfold mosquito net, tuck into all corners…3) Disrobe rapidly so as to avoid mosquitoes …4) Switch off light and read by torch. ..whilst smugly listening to mosquitoes on the OUTSIDE of the net!

It occurred to me last night how much like camping it is! Me, in my little mosquito net tent illuminated by the light of my torch on what is a very hard base! And I like it…I’m used to it. I used to be used to it and then I wasn’t and now I’ve become accustomed to it again.
