I can vouch for kitchen conditions in the Middle East and probably cracked a few kharsies in the process.
One abiding memory is seeing a flock of sheep being trotted through the Arabic Quarter of Old Jerusalem. The shepherd would haggle the best price with the 'restaurant', take the money then slaughter the chosen sheep on the doorstep then move on for the next sale...

Mmmm, fresh meat still warm

I've been awake since 5am.

I've always been a light sleeper and I still can't get used to sleeping on my back as I have always slept on my side.

She who is hardly ever indoors should be back from her travels late this evening . No doubt wanting to be offered food and drink and l don't think a sandwich and a cup of tea will be acceptable.

Knee protectors ?

I might not have any coffee today, either.

Will that make me a decaffeinated person? 🤔

Knee protectors ?

No! You've got him worried about meteorites !

I was just thinking about that poor taxi driver. I doubt if he would be covered by insurance !

I'm off for my Covid booster this morning. As son no. 2's borrowing the car - cinema trip with friends * following their mock A-level exams - I'm going by bike again.

* It's his first time doing this and a rite of passage for him and his friends. So my 'baby' is collecting 4 other people's 'babies' and taking them out 2 weeks after passing his driving test. I'm guessing there'll be a few nervous parents this morning . The car's been cleaned for once and the speed limit on a basic Peugeot Tepee's an ambition rather than a target, but still ... To his credit he's got the route on the sat-nav and is very sensible for a 17 year-old boy. We've been sharing motorway driving to training sessions to get him additional experience and I'm not the nervous one today.
