Morning all. Up and down in the night, then slept to seven thirty. Hazy sky here. Trip to Chinese medical today to sort out digestion. An "alternative" practitioner whom I've used before and is very good. Actually Brazilian but used to live in China.

Had a lovely lunch at our usual Sunday restaurant, but when Mme went to the WC at the end the door jammed thanks to another woman slamming the door and she couldn't get out. It's in a separate building. I sat at the table wondering. Could see a Fuss going in round the toilet block but couldn't be bo...

A friend has just returned from holiday in Cyprus to UK. While there something stung her, putting her in hospital for several days. Feeling ill this morning. Looking at mosquitos+Cyprus on the 'net, some nasty viruses there. Any comments from you world travellers out there as to her next action ?
