I'm afraid the dogster has been temporarily sideline by a bad fall, or a bar fight, and is now trying to find his way back to Oz.

Get well soon!

Hope dogster finally got the message and insured his trip with www.insuremytrip.com and that his only injury is to that which preceedeth the fall.

Well, right now the only way I can read new posts is to write one. Why? An internet oddity restricted to my latest hotel. But I'm curious.

Ahh, now I see what's going on.

It's all true. I was caught in a cat-fight in a low-life den of ill-repute. One of the hostesses belted me and knocked me over, shrieking 'Pay me the money!'.

I was only there because a very sweet man I met on the street invited me up to his home for a sporting contest. I didn't know he meant a ping-pong tournament. Well, no prizes for guessing who won.

lol. I made all that up. I know you all live vicariously.

Actually, my medical drama was a lot less exciting. I was at lunch in a Korean place; a designarg-h-h-h hell hole with designargh-h-h-h tables with legs that stuck out in ways that a normal tableleg does not. Having eaten, I eased my way along the low seating and stood up.

Next thing I knew I was on the floor, my legs neatly trapped in the nexus between the bloody designarg-h-h-h table legs and the seat. The staff thought it was hilarious. I didn't.

I landed heavily on my side. No dogster arms to break the fall - just cerrrunch onto my ribs. I felt the crack.

One kind lad interrupted the hilarity. He helped me to my feet.

'You alri...?'

'No.'

I thought I'd got away with it. Nope. Two days later I sneezed. Yeeee-owww. The cracked ribs broke.

Now, I've broken ribs before - in Budapest. In fact, the occasion is captured on film: those of you with too much time on their hands can google 'Howling V' a werewolf movie of no repute at all, and watch my death scene - I do very good running-around acting - watch for when I hit the door]

So I know that only time can heal my wounds. Time and pain-killers. Well, I have both. Right now I'm at Tenface, hence the internet oddity. I'll go somewhere else tomorrow - or not.

I'll go back to Oz when I do. Soonish. When I can manage luggage and flights. Or not.

Poor tragic Dogster. Aro-o-o-o-o.

Sorry to read of your accident, although it is not as interesting a read as the dog pulling you into the Ganges. This story needs more embellishment. Seriously though, hope the pain killers work their magic and that you feel better soon.

I don't believe your 'real' story... hahaha... I think hanuman had something to do with it all. When you go touring with Blad you don't have these sorts of problems....

Hope you heal soon. Take care! And now perhaps you have some 'down time' to entertain us with what you've been up to for the last couple of months. Eh??

What's the Gloria Gaynor song?

'I will survive...'?

Well, probably I will. Right now I'm so dosed up on painkillers they could cut my leg off and I wouldn't notice. My spirits are fine - it's just my ribs that hurt. Even my pride didn't take a battering. Those of you know 'Absolutely Fabulous' should think of the many scenes where Patsy falls drunk out of her car. This was about the same image.

But it's probably a sign that I should go home soon - I've been on the road since October 17. That's almost five months. Egypt, Israel, Istanbul, Athens, Italy, Venice, Croatia, UAE, Mumbai, Kerala, Bangkok, Cambodia... and a few more places I forgot. I'm getting tired of eating out.

Will I write about it? Probably. Probably not. Dunno.

Wow. Sorry to hear of that fall dogster. I can sympathize. I fell on our icy driveway once and busted one as well. Teaches me to wear Adidas instead of boots I suppose but hey I was just going a few feet to my car. Well one foot too many I guess. Well take care and heal up. I would imagine a flight home would be a bit rough now anyway.

Sorry about the ribs. Definitely sounds like time for home and the keyboard.
