There was a bunch of letters I thought had been forgotten.

Our correspondents had not got up to base camp.

There were 12 letters waiting for me.

And one of them said, we're looking forward to you being back at work, teaching accountants.

And I worked out the days when they said,

that I was expected to be teaching, and that was the day that our flight was getting home.

Now, which was sort of a week later, but we had a very cheap flight that had a layover in Egypt.

And I have to say, I needed very little excuse.

I want a soft bed.

I'm done here.
