"I was meaning to drop you a line, though, because the trek has made a late comeback in the edit...! Could you remind me how old you are, or more specifically how old you were when we were in Nepal?

Andy: mutter
Pete: well, at least you'll put a human face on it which might not have happened if they'd used one of the attention seekers
Andy: human as in "wheezing like a bastard"

"curse these boyish good looks"
Andy: I would have said that but I think that it no longer counts
Pete: shrug I still use it, but mostly ironically
Andy: eg.... on the way up Namche Hill "it's hot, it's dusty, I can't breathe and to top it all I'm beginning to wonder whether this hat makes me look like a tit"

Pete: hmm, possibly
but that's ok
Andy: or when we got to Pheriche and my brain stopped working
