May be you heard a brief news item this morning saying that Bihar had suffered severe flooding.
A damn had burst in Nepal the river water had forced an entirely new course through Bihar leaving untold damage in its trail.
I became less bleary eyed rather quickly but was reassured when they said it had happened 10 days ago but the extent had not been recognised until the Prime Minister had flown over it.
Any way I did phone Nick who said "Oh yes it happens every year large funds are on their way but already the pillagers are rampant and the wicked powerful ones will take all the money and nothing good will come of it, as usual"
So just to set your minds at rest and to ensure none of you think no more fund raising is necessary as they have all been wiped out I send the above with best wishes and gratitude to you all
