So far I’ve been told that I’m pale and have a double-chin. Glad to see that everyone’s thinking of me.

For those of you who asked, no, it’s not Aude who will be staying in my flat. She’s met the neurotic cats and knows better. One of her friends will do the honours — although I must admit, it wasn’t too hard to find someone who wanted to flat-sit. SAIC set me up with a pretty nice place.

Time for bed — I’ve got to be up at 5:30 tomorrow to meet with a colleague in London who’s just returned from Brunei. Apparently, she’s got all the local knowledge which she’s going to pass on to me.
