many thanks for all the good wishes.

Glad it gave a few chuckles (tho' maybe Jauntie's "tears streaming down the face" is going a bit too far!!)

Shortly off to mustashfa to see if I should get an injection (rabies?, other nasties?) and maybe an x-ray - rib is very sore, hopefully not actually broken.

Re. trips to Zekreet - you should be fine, as long as you don't walk near the film set. There is food there for the ostriches, and I don't think they stray far from that.

Keep close to the shore (e.g. near the windsurfing camp) and you will be fine.

Older and wiser,
