Back in the office, they bought the whole package. Anecdotes of Aleppo. Adventures in Damascus.

You can be anywhere with the Internet. Print someone's holiday snaps. Bring back souvenirs. Send postcards in your own handwriting by mail from anywhere in the world.

The whole charade cost me a fortune and a lot of organisation. But for a week of relaxation. And without 'Visions'. Priceless.

Until Tuesday.

And there I was - on the TV.

The whole sordid episode. And it was cut to make me look like an activist. I was just taking some pictures.

Everyone at work is angry with me. Silent. Angry-silent.

I don't know if they are ever going to forgive me for this one.
