Quick update. Still in Chiang Mai at the moment. Great city.

I have a few issues with dogs at the moment. Two days ago a dog stole one of my sandals from outside the house, this was very annoying, but also kind of funny. Incredibly the guy living opposite knew the location of the dogs secret cave and guided us there to find it. Its a little chewed up but still just about hanging together. Now you think i would learn from this. Not to leave things outside to get chewed up. No. Last night I left my book by the hammock. Returning this morning i could find only the bookmark, ironically enough a picture of a Labrador saying 'smile'. I wasnt doing anything of the sort and set off towards his cave. I didnt even get half way before a started to see pages of my book everywhere, in the road, peoples gardens, ponds, you get the idea. I did my best to round of much of it up as i could.

However, if anyone sees a dog chewing sandal and reading pages 42 through 174 of "A William Burroughs Reader" on Picador. PLEASE SHOOT IT!

Robin, I'm pleased beyond measure to hear that you're still getting into hapless scrapes.

But without dogs, the world would be a chewed "William Burroughs Reader" anecdote lighter and by definition a poorer place.
