MINDERS 190

Minders 190 Smokey: Impressive navigation Erika! Erika: I set the bearing from the tower and I know how to use my clock as a compass. Forest: Oh, that trick with pointing the hour hand at the sun and you can work out north and south? Erika: That’s the one. Works every time the sun stays out. Paola: Thank goodness we’re back! Let’s collect our stuff and start for home. Smokey: There’s a diner a few miles down the road, we’d better stop there and refuel. Erika: This is much better than riding on an overloaded scooter! Smokey: Speaking of the scooter, are you going to go back and recover it? Erika: I’ll get Dirthack to drag it in for the insurance assessors but I guess it’s a write off. Forest: Speaking of write offs, is Juanita still asleep in the back? Paola: Yes. She was shattered when we got back to the cabin and after our stop at the diner she’ll be out for a few hours. Forest: An interesting outing. Smokey: A bit too damned interesting if you ask me! Makes me think we should slow down a bit. Fei: What do you think? Tia: They got back in one piece – just! I’m sure it would have been different if we’d been with them. Forest: It does feel good to be back home. Smokey: And to have our proper Minders back – you hear that girls? Tia: We hear you. Fei: We hear you.
