Things I appreciate from this week:
Having packed lunch made for me by the hotel I’m staying at. Something about packed lunch makes you feel like you’re at home with your mother who’s annoyed you didn’t tidy your room but still took the time to put in a kit kat.
Reading an email to the top dogs in dc from my boss which featured the line "I am just pooped"
Getting into work on Friday (the weekend here is Friday Saturday) only to find no-one here not even my boss who said he would need me to work today.
Grapefruits
Playing the final game of backgammon with what had been a complete stranger in the early hours of the morning and not losing 6-2 as had been predicted but instead losing 5-4 due to a random run of doubles and luck. 6-2 would have been humiliating. 5-4 can be avenged.
Working late on jet lag, delightful.
The upcoming trip to the desert, when asked where I’m going I am unable to tell people I can only say I am going and it’s the desert and I will be there. Me, Yoshi, in the desert, shooting at stars and ululating. The people I’m going with may not want to do that but that’s my agenda and I’m sticking to it.
Being helped out by relative strangers with everything, be it an inability to find shampoo to not knowing how to say "Sorry I don’t have much time I’ve overslept and I’m a complete mess today, actually sometimes I’m just a complete mess in general" in arabic.
The big huge birds that circle over every street here, they may be glorified crows, I don’t know, but they’re big and impressive and stage huge dogfights every now and then. For me. Me.
My friends. I miss them.
