When we lived in Luxor they were our very thoughts too.
It’s a year today since Carries funeral. She rests in the Coptic cemetery in the desert, not far from her old friend Stan. She used to walk out there now and then, take a can of lager and pour it...

That'll be right, stamped sealed and delivered! How many of those huge ledgers is she entered into, I wonder? I expect that all the fuss would have given her a bit of a laugh, anyway.
I'm sure that members will be familiar with this festival, but thought it may well be worth reminding everyone about the fun to be had in these dismal days. I posted on Trip Advisor about the annual...

I see that the main event of the Moulid has been cancelled yet again. This 'carranaval' hasn't been allowed for a number of years now. What a pity! In my experience, this has been the only day of the...

Many of us in my generation would echo those words, Hepzibah. (And we're also prone to rambling on, and on, and on!) Never mind.
It always amazes me how the Property Tax collectors are so quick off the mark. Every year they are banging on my door on 2 January asking me to pay my Property Tax.
