Yep ! He's back in town after a long absence. You'd never guess where I have been hiding....... CHINA An old army mate (Vietnam era) was in difficulty with his health and business and placed an SOS. Silly me, volunteered again. This bloke eyes were the drama. Detached Cornea's. Ended up having a transplant in one, and the other which was partial seperating was glued back into place with a glue made from a deep sea mollusc. Extremely clever stuff, but how on earth did a laboratory technician think of looking at a mollusc for making glue..fascinating.
Well my task was to be there in China during and after his operations and rehabilitation to look after him and his business. Ahh! the business, now that was simple for me, because he brews boutique beers and I became the honorary quality control taste tester. Was hard, believe me..'burp' Anyway, his eye sight is good again, not perfect, but he did notice the drop in stock levels and lack of profit..hmmmm "Not Guilty your honour"
Had a wonderful time, lots to see, wonderful people, odd tasting food, but easily washed down with beer..but heck, is nice to be home again.
And now I think I deserve a holiday, so what's been happening in here and which direction should I point the campervan at ?

Grizz we missed you like buggary mate, I thought you had packed up the camper and took off, I often sat here wondering where you were, what sunrise were you squinting your eyes at while scratching your dags and piddling on a tree and all the time you were having a ball in china
good to hear from you again and glad your mates peepers are coming good!

Grizz I wondered what had happened to you.... Your mate is lucky to have a friend like you. I'd aim my van at China simply because in a short time we won't have a vehicle industry in Oz and everything will come from China....
