Having decided that I have NOT forgotten to do anything important, I am feeling better about the whole trip.
I had a good catch-up chat with Shila (she used to work with VCD) last night, having not seen her since my visit to Nepal in 2011. I am getting very excited to go back!
Tomorrow is the day I have set aside for any
injections I may need. I tried desperately to avoid this fate by going
into the Health Centre and asking the receptionist if she could find out
for me. She tried, but failed miserably - advising me to speak to a
nurse. Great.
The image of "Nurse Jo Brand" (seriously, she is
like the comedienne's long lost twin) bursting through the door with an
armful of shiny syringes is not one that I wish to see again, even
though the first time she reassured me that they were not all for me after spotting the look of sheer terror on my face.
Frankly, I hope I don't need to have an armful
of metal (or a mouthful of Cholera, from what I have read on the NHS
website) as the rest of the day is designated to my usual Essay-in-a-Day
routine after leaving everything to the last minute. I can't write
essays with useless arms.
On a brighter note, the lovely Nepali poet Yuyutsu R D Sharma
has kindly answered my interview questions to help with my journalism
project. I can't believe how kind he has been! It will give me a good
background before I get to Nepal and crack on with all the in-country
research I need to do!
