Things that go bump!?!

A strange thing happened to me last night...
We went to bed at around Midnight after sitting and chatting to the owns son in law about all things Indian nothing weird and with no alcohol drunk I must add.
the room was warm and slightly muggy but nothing out of the ordinary and I soon fell asleep. However I was awoken after about an hour by hearing someone at the door quietly calling 'Helena!'. I actually got up and went to the door but no one was out side so I just assumed it was someone talking in their sleep and nodded of my self. After a couple of hours or so I awoke again with a sense that Les had got up, I turned over to see a strange black figure stood between our beds, at first I thought 'what is Les doing?' but then I noticed that Les was still in bed as he turned over still asleep.. The temperature in the room had changed dramatically and the figure just turned round as thigh it had noticed I was awake and then turned back walked to the end of the beds then over to the door and just disappeared, the door did not open or close and the room became as muggy as it had been before. I cannot explain any more or less what I experienced but I lay there for another couple of hours until it became light trying to comprehend what had occurred. I have no explanation for it apart from it was extremely 'real' and really freaked me out. The figure I saw was all in black and appeared to conical in dress almost like a burka (which doesn't fit with the family style as they are Christian) Needless to say I can only say what I saw and felt and whilst at the time i felt no fear, it certainly shook me somewhat. I must have dosed off again because I was awoken at 8:3 0to be told breakfast was ready, I could only stomach a tea that morning and didn't say what had happened until we had left the house and were on the boat.
Just to let you all know I am still of sound mind, definitely have not been smoking any 'wacky baccie' nor had I had a drink fro nearly 24 hours- perhaps that's the problem!?!

Forrest City

I didn't sleep too well last night – couldn't get the fact I'd been robbed out of my head and I eventually felt like getting up at first and having checked the weather channel for updates found that the storms were to get worse today so I decided to stay put and ride it out. I called down to the Walmart to get some food etc and whilst on the way back the sky got dark – really dark over to the south. Just as I'd got into the room the Sirens went off, I'd left the TV on in the room and there were warnings of 'imminent Tornado possible – take cover' So being good, I stood at the door to see what was happening. The wind got up but not too bad and then about 15 minutes later the message was updated to say the threat had been cancelled for the area I was in – This was about the same time as the town of Yazoo, and a huge swath of Mississippi was flattened just over the state border. The tornado had missed here by about 80 miles not far when its travelling at over...

Today is our last day at 'the office'. John Magrath greeted us at the Maintenance compound with a box of Harrogate Toffee each - He's a Yorkshire Man! First job was to have a brew and then do a Water Run around the site. I want a Golf Buggy for Christmas!! The little buggy have been hired to help get people and kit around the site and we used one to tow a small trailer around to the various activity sites off loading bottled water. Back to our compound via a check that the transport team had enough water in their boiler - and we had to make sure it was hot enough to make tea - we had lunch early as we were to go and start dropping flagpoles as soon as the afternoon participants were on the water. Unfortunately everything ground to a halt. I Scout had been knocked unconscious at the rafting area and was taken to the Dam Wall where he was met by a first aid crew; who called for an Ambulance; who called for a Helicopter Evacuation. This meant we had to keep all the kits w...

Singapore

I arrived in Singapore in the evening of the 30th. The Qantas flight was good and didn't seem like 5hours. The walk from the gate to Immigration took ages and then I went down to the Baggage Claim and waited and waited and waited. Eventually a supervisor came over as there were 2 of us left at the carousel. She radioed someone and assured us our bags were on the way. Eventually they came through but surprise surprise we both got stopped at Customs. Not sure why they stopped the other passenger but they rescanned my bag and then wanted me to open it. Apparently it was becaus I was carrying a folding camping Knife Fork Spoon Set but it was passed as ok and also because my PackSafe Metal Mesh was folded in the bag and was giving a funny reading. THe lady customs officer was so apologetic about stopping me and even told me the best place to go and see the New Year's Fireworks the next Night. Once past the custom's I went out to the Arrivals hall to work out how to get to the Ho...
