I had an early morning blood test today so missed my morning tea. Rough way to begin the day. Making up for it now with Fortnum & Mason's "Royal Blend." Good stuff!

It sound sparanoid but I travelled through the Soviet Union as a 15 and 17 year old and had KGB tails.
This happened to use several times in Burma. Once, we were photographing Yangon and had constant tails following us everywhere we went. They weren't even trying to be inconspicuous. Our driver had to phone 'his wife' every time we wanted to go somewhere else, and by the time we would arrive the same 4-5 people where waiting for us, and formed a loose 'box' around us, try to see if we were contacting any locals. It wasn't very comforting...
