A full day at work today, pick up and drop off at Brownies, cleaned out the guinea pigs and cooked dinner which I very nearly burnt.  Now I'm worn out!  John is working again this evening, he is under so much pressure at work it's not good for him. 

I didn't take any photos so here is a snap of an ornament I brought in Egypt in about 2005.  It was my first trip of many to Egypt and I remember getting a friend of mine to haggle for me as I was, and still am useless at haggling.  I am the sort of person who pays well over the odds to avoid the embarrassment of trying to haggle!  I don't remember what I paid for this, but I still really like it.  

Egypt is a special place for me.  I have visited so many times for diving trips and to see the sights.  Many of these trips were on my own.  I like to travel alone.  I once spent Christmas day in Cairo as a single traveller and visited most of the major siteseeing places on my own which I am quite proud of.   I also met John in Egypt, I there when I was on my sabbatical and he was on a break from work.  He previously worked in Egypt for a year or so. It's a special place to both of us.  I love the country and the people. I look forward to taking the girls one day.
