Macabre clotheshorses

We cannot start this morning, there is trouble with the engines. Suba will walk to the next camp and get help. We will have breakfast and maybe drink a little whisky. Hopefully we can meet the rebels this afternoon and broker some kind of peace, though Kate is doubtful they will co-operate. There is always the danger that they decide to behead us and use our bodies and macabre clotheshorses.
