December 30, 2004Saved by the CatOur mates are OK! John e-mailed them on Monday which I though futile because, although they now have internet access in the house in Negombo, that would be the last place they would be. But they replied. It turns out...Read this update Sri Lanka: The Situation in the EastAt last news has begun to trickle through about the situation along Sri Lanka's East coast—and it looks bad....Read this update December 27, 2004Killer TsunamisOne of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded hit the Indian Ocean on Sunday morning.

The stress of the imminent move is getting to me. We have not yet found a flat—or rather we have but the landlady is away so we don't know if we'll get it (and it is...Read this update December 01, 2004Images from the End of the WorldHere, along with the text of a previous entry, are some photographs of Sagres . Sarges was once considered to be the End of the World. Here, the seemingly endless ocean thunders into sheer cliffs over 100 feet high. Across...Read this update Winter's comingMy body clock is all shot: here in Scotland it gets dark over two hours earlier than in Portugal! That is on a clear day.
