Bright edges can be seen around the edges of an envelope
Indian Visa
I became excited about the Royal Mail ‘missed post’ slip as it must mean a Visa has been returned to me.
I got up early and went to the Post office collection point and picked up my passport, only to find the Indian visa returned because -oh I feel so shy to say - it’s foolish… I hadn’t signed it.
Attention to detail huh! Im having trouble staying focused.
In my defense, the bit of the form where you sign was tiny, miniscule, it was not large enough for my quill and too large for my needle.
It was hidden under the contractual text, a sliver of white against the dark misery of contract law.
But on a good note - guess what this means!
I may have made a mistake measuring the ‘Stan countries but this is my opportunity to repair the timescale I had roughed out. Since only two of the ‘Stans are fixed, Kazkhstan and Kygrystan by the visa process, I can change dates form there on and now India isn’t fixed I can change that too! So all’s well again with the trip times, I’ve lost 2-3 weeks from the end of the trip but to be frank, the lower Countries approaching the Congo in Africa were begining to worry me.
Globalstar Sat phone
Apparently two satelittes have fallen into disrepair, buggered from space. They have been that way for 18 months so the Sat 550 phone isnt going to be a worth while option. Should I be a stranger in a strange land, go somewhere and try to stay out of touch, how does the rest go…I cant remember.
I guy in a phone shop suggested a phone to me thats open to networks and I could buy several sim cards and work out a tariff spreadsheet for each country. I would but I can’t help but wonder if he got it right. Not because I doubt him, but of course I do, but because he looked like he was 12!
I’m going to mull this over and see where I’m led, but time is against me so I’m going to have to think quicker than usual.
I’ll only take 5 days to mull this one over!!!!
