Well, I am very much looking forward to watching the Talking Heads episode this evening with Peter Thompson. I have not yet seen a final cut, so it will be as much an experience for me as anyone else! I have bitten a few nails hoping that I haven’t put my foot in it too much, with my customary frankness (that is the polite way of putting it).
Thanks to all of you who have contacted me to wish me luck. If I don’t answer my phone this evening it is because I am on the other one!
Cheers

I will be appearing on the ABC in Australia this coming Monday, 24th May, at 6.30pm on the Talking Heads program.
Peter Thompson is the interviewer. I’ve not yet seen the final product, but in essence the program covers my early life and family background (they’re game, aren’t they??) and on into the Sahara walk and where I am currently at.
I found out today that Niger is moving closer to democratic rule again. Whilst things are highly dodgy in the North of the country, as they always were, it does look slightly more positive. I hate these bits of news as much as I love them – just when I give up on the whole thing, news arrives that makes my heart jump again. I can’t let it go, no matter how much I would sometimes like to.
Anyway, I hope you can all tune in.
Cheers
