Stray thoughts

We had a Belgian geologist working with us for a few days, taking core samples of the sediment in the wadi. The great thing about this was that he looked just like Donald Sutherland! For some reason that makes me feel like laughing. Some throwback to watching Mash when I was five. Donald Sutherland just gave me a thumbs up across the felucca!


The best disparaging phrase I’ve heard since "the shit hit the fan," was said by our (female) Polish Surveyor, referring to the weak tea at breakfast one morning: "Dis eez de pee-pee ov my seester"
It kept me giggling for 20 minutes
