Dumbass kiss

I apologise if the use of profanity in my blog title offended your delicate sensibilities. It was never my intention to hurt you or hurt "us".

Tonight I fly to Damascus (oh now you get it) and this weekend I'll be in Beirut. I'm straying further and further from my London nest just as I'd hoped to do this year. Having seen Nate and Julie at the weekend I think my final big trip of the year has got to be back to The Motherland (Africa, not Lancaster county. Or Russia).

Shukran.
