C. has decided he's in love with someone he really shouldn't be in love with back home. That's all well and good, but he's been telling everyone she's his wife! I hope he doesn't fall for her then have to watch while she goes off with someone else. But WHY does he have to do all this 'married' stuff with people? He can think it, but it's like he's abusing her name and her friendship. Can she defend herself here? Deny or confirm it? No. What would she think of him if she knew what he was saying? She'll never know of course, but that somehow makes it worse. Do friends do that? This is a pretty big question and I'm not going to attempt to answer it. I just feel uncomfortable because I know her, and the situation is oh-so familiar.

We've got nine days left in Ramnad, I'm going to shoot as much as I can next week, taking pictures of people. Most of my pictures are landscapes, buildings and arty things.

C. got a letter off M. yesterday and it's all about the church and God and stuff. He didn't write like that to me. He knows what he's doing, that chap, he knows I wouldn't like him writing like that to me. I prefer some things to remain unspoken. I don't think about my relationship with God, mainly because it's not so good.
