Saved by the Cat
Our 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 that the cat, Gizmo, has a tail infection so S & A stayed at the house over Christmas to administer his medication and mother him. Otherwise they would have gone to a beach resort along the southern or eastern shore and, as S succinctly put it: “we would be dead. —Saved by the cat!”
