So the weather has perked up considerably since my last post. Spring has sprung, though of course here the nice warm weather, which is gorgeous, is comparable to a summer day in the UK! It really is delightful now, not too hot and lovely and sunny. We have had some days where its been sunny spells too, but even when there is cloud cover it is still pleasantly warm. The nights are still chilly of course, but more bearably so, enough for us to have been able to 'downgrade' to a lighter blanket !!!! ;-) No news on the building front as regards our land. The wheels of the egyptian 'red tape' (apologies for mixing my metaphors) not only grind slowly, but at the moment they don't seem to be grinding at all!!! I have been regularly reading a post called Ali in Egypt - do please read it to if you get a chance http://ventureintoegypt.blogspot.com/ this is truly an awe inspiring young lady and she certainly has a lot more courage than I do. I don't often like to get caught up in politics but really she is so right and I was moved to read her account, and I think you will be too.
Will post again when have any news to report.
Noor is fine and he is speaking more and more, though mostly one words, he hasn't yet made the connection to short 2 word sentances properly - he has managed it a couple of times last week and then since then has gone back to 1 word. He is having little tantrums from time to time, esp if you take him away from something he wants to do (usually something naughty!!) so we are trying hard to distract him as a means of discipline - I am not against gentle smacking but I don't like to do it 'willy nilly'.
Well TTFN and keep smiling.
