30th June 2007

The month started with Patrick's second week here so it was time for tombs and temples. Graham took the car to Esna and they looked around Esna Temple and went off to Qena twice as we were having the sign made there for the Luxor Legal office. Sabine and I went with them the second time and we enjoyed the modern mosaics around the town but still felt a little sorry that Patrick never made it to the nearby Dendera Temple but he had a great time and we will visit it when he returns.

Our very good friend Kay kindly offered to stay at our villa whilst we went off to Hurghada for five days of snorkeling. It was wonderful, we both needed a break and it came exactly at the right time. We managed to get out to several different reefs to last time and now can't wait to go back to discover more. What was even better was that it was all inclusive so we didn't spend anything whilst we were there, no wallet, no camera, just enjoyment.

When we returned to Luxor the Luxor Legal office had been completely painted and it looks like we will be open, after Nasser's wedding, early in July. Only yesterday the fans and lights were fitted so a good clean, some office furniture and we will be open though a couple of cases we are already working on, along with Nasser and Heba's wedding are delaying the actual opening but for all the right reasons. After all the celebrations it is the actual wedding tonight which is very unusual as it is Sunday today and Thursday is the usual wedding night. Graham is working on the web site and you can Click Here if you want to have a look but it is far from finished as we both have little time with so much going on at the moment.

This has been a really busy and intense month for us so being able to get away for a few days was wonderful though it already seems to be a distant memory. Much of what we have started and done we can't put here at the moment as anyone can visit our web site.

If you would like to meet up when you come over then do Click Here and drop us an email. If you have any room in your case and could bring some Vaseline Intensive Care it would be wonderful. I had a small one with Aloe Vera, it was lovely and so much better than the Nivia we can get here. We really miss Homepride Curry Sauce (it comes in tins), Semolina and Worcestershire Sauce so if you can bring any of these you will be even more welcome. We will of course pay you for anything you bring.

If there is anything you would like to know then do send us an e-mail. We always reply but it can take a few days.

Anyway that's it for another month.

Pauline and Graham XX
