More desert ...

So when Bryony said that she was going to promote the trek as a fundraiser, my first thought was: 'wow, I'd really like to do that'.

My second thought was: 'But I'll never be able to do it'

and my third to 34th thoughts ran something along the lines of:
'I'll never raise that amount of money'
'It'll be killingly hot!'
'I might have done it a few years back, but I'm too old now'
'I can't do it on my own'
and so on.

Luckily, my 35th thought was: 'I've always wanted to go to the desert. I'm 57 ( I was then). If I don't do it now, just when, precisely, do I think I'm going to do it?'

So, now it is then.
