Extracts from an AIM conversation
barty: Yo, I' m here
suzie: OMG where are yo!!!
suzie: you, even.
suzie: What's going on with your phone?
suzie: Are you dead?
suzie: etc. etc. etc.
suzie: argh. I'm in shock.
barty: We're at Nouakachot or something siimilar, no phone signal since boxing day (no bog since boxing day either come to that),
suzie: EWWWWWW. Where have you been pooing?
barty: french keyboard is driving me nuts
suzie: Please bear in mind this conversation is going on your blog!
suzie: Are you okay?
barty: take a spade and dig a hole!
suzie: Ewww again!
suzie: Are you nearly there yet?
barty: fine apart from being a bit runny
suzie: Nice. Thanks for sharing that :-)
barty: we cross into senagal tomorrow and there is quite a big group that want to just push on and get home
suzie: rather than being touristy?
barty: that's the one, probably had enough of one anothers company too
suzie: Oh dear. Are you happy?
barty: Much happier for being able to make contact!
suzie: Telling me!
barty: We've onlyn just arrived in N.........;; , which is in the south of Mauratania, and checked into a hotel to clean off a weeks grime, I'll see what the deal is with phoning from the hotel, or try and find a phone cafe, which in Moroco were reasonabley common
suzie: ,madsfffffff
suzie: is a msg from the cat!
suzie: I'm very glad I'm not in your stinky car!
barty: don,t blame you, we've had to carry the old bedouin guide for two days and he doesn' like the air con on
suzie: YOU ARE KIDDING ME. OMG. YEEEEUCH!!!
barty: Wish I was, he likes our car coz it's newest but we did manage to share him amongst the others for é dqys
suzie: Yuck. Are you still in the desert now? Just trying to see where the p-d website says you should be.
barty: thats 2 days!
suzie: French keyboards!!
suzie: Nouamghar, apparently, is where you are.
suzie: Is everyone's car still running?
suzie: Oh no, I mean Nouakchott
suzie: So you're a day ahead of the schedule, I think.
suzie: So hang on. If you're going to Senegal tomorrow, you might be done in about three days?
barty: Nah it't not that one I'll sus it out in a mo, We've been in a group of 6 cars since Boxing day all ok-ish we had to buy a new battery and a reaer shock
barty: absorber packed up and the exhaust is now held together with a bean can which seems about normal
suzie: LOL. Poor Struan!
barty: He got a new battery!
suzie: True. But he's now a Heinz car!
barty: bought using my finest arabic
suzie: Salaam aleikum and shokran, by any chance?
suzie: What's Arabic for battery, then?
barty: take old battery to the lean-to shed in the back street and sign language
suzie: Ah. Your Arabic is quite like your French then? ;-)
barty: similar but less fluent
suzie: LOL
suzie: So do you think you'll be in the gambia in three days then?
barty: depends on how shitty the Senagalese want to be, but could be, given a bit of luck
suzie: Do you want me to look up planes?
barty: Nah, Gambia experience are the only charter company that sell one way on the web and they can't get us back for ages, and what used to be Sabina are the only Schedule airline who fly there and they want about a grand for one way BUT there are many charter airlines going in and out who sell unsold seats locally so it should be easy enough to get a cheapish flight back
suzie: Excellent! Drive faster, you need to come home.
barty: I do, I do!
suzie: Only... if you could give us a bit of notice, we've got a good recipe we want to make you for a coming home thing :-D
barty: what sort of a thing?
suzie: "Nigella's Chocolate Fudge Cake"
barty: Hmmmmmmmmmm I'll definitely drive faster.......................;Nouakchott is the place we're at, i think
suzie: Yes, it looks like that from the schedule. You're meant to be having a night and a day off now, it says.
barty: We had a reaaly short day driving 100km down the beach yesterday, early start and finished at 10.00 so our gang wants to just get on with it; the general concencus is we'd rather get home and get together for a party if we feel like it later on
suzie: YAY
suzie: Good decision
barty: sory about the break in transmission, pete came to steal the local currency stash for beer...................and just came back with a cold one
barty: He didn't even have to pay, but I suspect that means we're stuck in a round
suzie: Love you.
barty: Love ya
suzie: l8r t8r

Glad to see that Pete has found a bar
This is Pete and Bart we're talking about! If they'd got lost in the middle of the desert, their bar radar would have saved them.
glad to see when all is amiss we turn to lavatorials as usual.
Keep it up.
Paul & Lyn
