While I already know what a good looking fellow I am it always helps the ego if someone else tells you.
I was having lunch this afternoon in the garden of the Pumpernickel bakery when to my surprise Marie a very good looking twenty three year old student from Germany showed up. We had last met just before Manang on the Annapurna Circuit.
I must have told her at some point during the hike that one of my aims is to lose some weight while I am here because totally unsolicited Marie commented “You have lost weight, you’re looking good!”
Now I don’t think I have lost all that much weight but I am happy to take any compliments as they come.
