the Man is making a film about ants in the forest - I went out to spend his birthday with him.
Sir David Attenborough was there too, narrating the story (I had been to this same place with him about 12 years ago and tell that story here) - it's always interesting to see how other people react to him. The head waiter at the hotel played a series of jokes, actually it was the same joke over and over again where he pretended not to have any of the food that was ordered or to have run out of wine. SDA accepted this punishment with good humour but clearly wasn't enjoying the joke as much as the waiter - it must be really hard being a National Treasure

I had no idea that the Swiss could be such pests! Maybe due to all that fondue and yodeling?

DeleteAnother amazing little slice from the astonishing life of of Ms. Sandwich. I, for one, would treat Mr. A with the appropriate deference. As I mentioned "Civilisation" changed my life...
