The bits I've had time for are great so far. More gems to come as I get time. Thanks Hafiz! :wi
I managed to leave my Kindle in London and am bereft of reading matter until my next visit. The 3 John Grishams I picked up at the airport will only last a few days. Accordingly I have been turning...

Maybe so, but you can't help but marvel at today's technology, no matter how its used. An interesting observation using such tech was the discovery the other day that a trillion tonnes iceberg had...
One of my favourite programmes to watch on the limited TV available in Egypt is BBC's "Hardtalk".....at least when Stephen Sackur's in the seat. He's streets ahead of some of the other presenters....

Sackur is the most insistent and forensic interviewer I know of. He has none of the usual BBC circumlocutory airs and graces and keeps his own ego out it. I’d love to hear him with some dignitaries...

Even better still, just increase the kerb height as they have done in many airport entrances to stop a vehicle mounting it easily, but I note that Egypt (Luxor in particular) have already adopted...
Months ago a friend asked I'd like to go to the Royal Albert Hall to a concert by The Piano Guys. I'd never heard of them before, actually neither had she until that point. Thankfully I said yes...
This beautiful traditional Russian dance is called Beriozka, and features performers that appear to be floating across the stage. The ladies have to stay en pointe the whole time to maintain the...

That was amazing and beautiful. The pain those women must have endured, and are likely to endure in the future, all for their art, is beyond imagination.
I watched this film the other night about the robbery and it was very entertaining if for nothing else but to show what a bunch of clowns they turned out to be, they should not be put in jail, a care...
Now I don't watch TV, but somebody gave me the first series called Designated Survivor an American show. I'm 8 episodes in 2 left togo and all in two nights viewing. If Trump has had to go through...
