IN FLAGRANTE DELECTO

I promised reveal the identity of the Thumper the Buttock Kneeing Dance Enthusiast at some point during this entry but the swelling has subsided over the last few days and my enthusiasm for naming the party responsible subsided with it. I was also going to launch into an invective filled rant against the operators of the Goreme Turkish Night but days have passed and I just can’t be shagged mustering the righteous indignation required to put down a really decent bit of venom. Writing bitter tirades is like forging iron, you’ve got to work the material while its white hot. Plus, I just snapped the shower-head clean off the wall in the bathroom of my guesthouse so I figure me and the Turkish tourism industry are all square. I’m not going to go into how it happened. It just did. Let’s leave it at that.

Instead you’re going to get a few pictures from the previous few weeks. Enjoy.

Aboard the truck - the wind blowing in my hair

Detour anyone?

Here Joe and I demonstrate the correct way to celebrate a successful climb; a rousing rendition of “I’m a little teapot” in g minor. Note our vehicle way, way, waaaaaay in the background

Foreign travel… it elevates the spirit and broadens the mind

Turkey’s most effective nut cracker. She’s the one in the back. Here I enjoy my first hit of opium in one of Syria’s notorious Poppy Dens.
Just kidding mum, I’m smoking harmless tobacco.

I am all that is man!

Album release date to be announced

It could happen to YOU! Conjunctivitis. Be aware. Be safe. Joe Wallace, shockingly caught in flagrante with well known Wellington socialite James “Jock” Westlake and an unidentified gentleman.

That is all,
