The Twelve Pigs of Christmas
25 December 2007
Twelve piggies drumming
Eleven piggies piping
Ten piggies a-leaping
Nine piggies dancing
Eight piggies a-milking
Seven piggies a-swimming
Six piggies a-laying
F-i-v-e g-o-l-d p-i-g-s
Four calling piggies
Three french pigs
Two turtle pigs
And a piggy in a pear tree!
Tibet: Day 15 - Everest
14 October 2007
We camp outside Ronbuk monastry, in heavy fog. A sleepless night: yak bump into the tents at all hours, and the temperature falls below the range of the thermometer. I wake about 3am, put on every item of clothing I can find, and it's still too cold to sleep.
Next morning, the fog clears, and in the clear bright light of day, the peak of Mount Everest looks close enough to reach out and touch.
