First up :)

Hello Beanio!!!! This is going to be great. This is exciting. :) We can write to each other when we have the time, and it can be tiny short sms style messages or longer ramblings when we have more to rant about, and then when we are old we will have a wonderful 21st Century style record!

Tonight before I get on with real work I have a little bit of time to write something so I will do so! Right now I am sitting outside my flat, in our little garden type area. I say garden but it is mostly tiled apart from a small area in the corner with big plants and a bit palm-type thing in a pot which is quite space-consuming. There are stairs up to the roof terrace, and really I should be up there because there's a possibility there might actually be some air moving up there, but I imagine I would probably get all the way up there, get sweaty whilst doing it, and then be annoyed to realise that no, it is just as hot up there as it is down here. Here I am at least nearer to the freezer if I want to stick my head in it.

I bought a bag full of apricots on the way home which I am about to start munching, yum yum yum. I am always worried that I get ripped off when I buy fruit and vegetables because I'm sure other people don't pay as much as I do, and that makes them taste not as good. Ah well, I will eat them all in one go and I will find out tomorrow whether or not I got ripped off or not. There is a very pretty cat sitting at the top of my stairs and I am trying to entice it down with a piece of laughing cow. So far it is unimpressed. It is very beautiful though, and I wonder whether in time it may or may not like to live here. I must find other bait though; it seems to not like cheese that could be pieces in an outsized trivial pursuits game.

There was a big loud roar from all directions just now. It seems like the whole town is watching the final of the Egyptian cup, and nearly everyone in Egypt supports one team, and it is likely they have just won one-nil, as I only heard one great big noise. This could of course mean that they lost by infinity goals to one, as the other team likely only has one fan in this town and he would be scared like a mouse to make a noise. He is probably hiding somewhere on his own.

It is nearly half past 11 at night, and i am still sweating. ARRRGH! It is just going to get hotter. I also haven't started my work, but I really should. I'm just going to see if I can add some pictures to this post, to make it a bit more interesting.
