No Fear but Self Loathing in Laos Vegas
No fear but there is a generous portion of self loathing topped with whipped cream, chocolate buttons, hundreds and thousands and a flake!!!
Sometimes I really wind myself up! I have managed to lose my hat! It's not just any hat, it a very pricey hat (a Tilley hat) and was a gift for travelling before we left that I have managed to keep for all of one month! I managed to leave it behind in one of the guest houses and only realised half an hour into the three hour bus trip back to Luang Prabang from Nong Kiaew. I proceeded to spend the next two and a half hours devouring my overly decorated portion of 'cake'.
It's a great deal to do with the item itself but as much to do with the repeated forgetfulness / thoughtlessness / sheer stupidity that I seem to demonstrate with increasing regularity!! Maybe it's stage one Alzheimer's but I can't remember a time when I wasn't forgetful - but then being forgetful; how would I? It honestly amazes me that I don't fall down more or bump into trees or fall off cliffs!!
No fear, in a day or two I will probably have forgotten the whole thing and be back to narrowly avoiding trees and cliff edges and wondering why my head feels a little cold!! Until then woe is me!!

Hi Alexander, Hi Deborah - sounds like you are having a great time! Don't worry about the hat - I will go down to Cotswold Camping tomorrow to find out how to claim; they will probably need the receipt. And forgetfulness is entirely normal - it's hereditary (i.e. you get it from your kids!) - I think!
Great blogs,
Love,
Dad and Mum,

PPS - Anyway it was just your hat - I forgot my suit and overcoat! But I was able to contact the hotel and leave them a forwarding address to post it on - and they did! CC tomorrow. Love, Dad
