Superglue is cruel but double sided tape has been applied to his paws before and he gets a bit moody about it.Old Git Ray wrote:In that case it's clearly the over use of superglue you stuck him there with. :woohoo:AndyB wrote:He's not pissed off because he's walking on the ceiling

Re: Christmas
Mornin' all, ain't I the early bird here!
Time to be up and looking into your Xmas Stocking: I've got Chris Scott's Morocco Overland to accompany my favourite out-of-print Independent Travellers guide series by Christine Osborne (you can find used copies in the US) that we used to plan out trip there in 1994, plus likewise one of Stanford's Travel Classics; 'In Morroco' by Edith Wharton to go along with 'In the Shadow of Islam' by Isabelle Eberhardt.
Wharton was an American 'Blue Stocking' who accompanied French Army officers around Morocco in the last year of WW1 - and a very curious perspective she had of it too (Mrs S has already read this book, which I actually stumbled across in Barcelona back in October). In contrast Isabelle Eberhardt was a very queer fish, Swiss born illegitimate daughter of a Russian Orthodox priest and a German-Russian aristocrat who travelled incognito in Morocco for most of her short adult life, often disguised as a man.
I read this book back in the 'nineties' after we'd been to Morocco ourselves. As he first began travelling in 1897 I'd go as far as to say it was the first of what we would now call a 'travel' book genre as opposed to a guide. The style is similar in style to Bruce Chatwin's writings of some sixty years later - in fact very similar ... Eberhardt died in a flash flood while living in a rough hut located in a wadi - a classic hazard that Polly's so-called 'professional' guides built their base camp for her Gepography degree field trip. Needless to say ... long story for round the camp fire
Last but not least* and up to date map from the French IGN series. Tine to get planning for November!
Happy Christmas everyone - are you still not up yet!

* not quite - the brilliant sun is now over the horizon here in the Pyrenees and we're off on a 12 kms hike from our front door! Yesterday, which is just as much 'Christmas' here in Spain we had out first Christmas dinner - BBQ style - after I'd spent a nice morning pottering in my new workshop and fetching my bike up to be ready for a breakfast date with a load of Spanish bikers tomorrow - to be followed by a great little jolly along one of the best bits of the N-260 from Pont de Suerte to la Pobla de Segur
