"Music has charms and soothes the savage soul" G

My life here is still going well.

My new laptops keyboard has Arabic characters as well as English text on it- Wonderful!

This is the first quiet weekend I've had for ages. Everything has been feeling very busy lately- almost too busy. Not sure if I like it like that. I just want slow & quiet frankly!


Muscat is not a big city- a long town, running between the mountains & the coast. Mostly it's very clean. It only rains here 2-4 days per year!



I haven't been to the desert. Everyone says camping out there is great.

I had a massive jam with my neighbour last night. From 9:30- 3am. Drinking whiskey, smoking ciggies & throwing together some cheesy harmonies- Good Fun! Another neighbour stopped in to be rent a crowd on her way home for the last hour. I borrowed a guitar from a music dept. I love it.

I've also joined one of the local choirs- which is gooby & lighthearted- also tremendous. Don't know why I didn't do it earlier in my life!


I'm off to Europe for my New Year break. Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam & Paris. Woohoo. Finalised the tickets today. My travel agant is a lovely Omani chap I met in the Lulu supermarket queue.

They were long, we commiserated.
