That will teach me not to turn my phone off at night. Just before 8am Sydney time I had a phone call from Australia. This would have been fine except it was just before 5am local time. Too darn early to be up. I would have gone back to sleep had the phone call not completely woken me up. Similarly I forgot thirty-something years of reading the time earlier when I looked at my watch and saw it said 6:15, and I knew I needed to be outside the hotel at 6:30 for my tour of the River Kwai.

The only thing – my watch really said 2:30. Oops!
