I'm a Brit living in Egypt, working for a Christian church in a Muslim country. It has to be a God thing...
This where we were staying a week ago
Total peace and tranquility in the company of the bedouin in the Sinai mountains.

Today's excitement: Another fire in the church
We had another fire under our church tent today. The last one a month ago was caused by an electrical fault and did no damage other than some melted cables. This one appears to have been caused by someone flicking a match or cigarette in from the street under the back of our stage area. The fire was put out very quickly by our staff and some very helpful and brave neighbours, before the fire brigade arrived, but not before it did some significant damage. This is where we are due to hold our worship services tomorrow! I'll let you know how it goes :-)

The view from my bamboo hut
We have just arrived at Basata on the Red Sea after three days cut off from the outside world at Al Karm in the heart of the Sinai mountains. Will be putting our feet up for a while.

Hummingbird Hawk Moth
Found this little chap buzzing round the garden tonight - a huge moth with the amazing distinctive pattern on the wings. His right wing is a little moth-eaten though. Check out his curled tongue in the first picture. He was flitting round all the flowers gathering nectar.

Home made sushi
For Toby's birthday some kind soul gave him a do-it-yourself sushi kit. Everything you need for a sushi feast. And he decided to share it with me. For Single Dad Week (Felicity comes home tonight), just the two of us and some raw fish. All made from scratch.
We overdid the wasabi on our first Nigiri pieces and nearly had to call the paramedics. It was serious!Comments [0]

Any ideas on the model? 190? It's in beautiful condition all round. Spotted by Cafe Greco on Road 9.

Went to desert, made a fire, cooked some steak.
Our Norwegian friends are staying with us this weekend. We knew each other very well the first time we lived in Cairo, in 1999 & 2000. So we took them to Wadi Digla of course. We explored a cave and had a great meal. Steak always tastes better cooked in the outdoors on a fire.
