and why is it called the Baseline Road?

Christine Wilson - book launch today at the D.B.U.

Christine Wilson nee Spittel.

Christine launched her new book today at the Dutch Burgher Union on Reid Avenue.
She looked fabulous (Christine is over 18...) and there were many friends and members of her family there for the occasion. Another gem of a book from Sam Perera and Ameena Hussein who must run the best (only?) publishing house on the island.

The Dream Assistant. Thailand.

Joe has been my assistant on an assignment in Thailand for the past 10 days. Working with him was a joy. He taught me so much, has the most wonderful way with people, and was more than generous in sharing with me the places, people and locations he knew. We started work each day at 6 (or earlier) and would only stop at night. We must have traveled over 1500km together, and there was never a rough word (though he must have wanted to throw me out many a time) during the entire journey. I owe him so much. This picture is of Joe with his partner May, a wonderful and thoughtful lady. Oh, and by the way, they know the BEST places to eat. Thanks Joe, your turn now to visit me in Sri Lanka and lets reverse the roles.
