NaBloPoMo?
I thought my eyes had gone a bit funny in the desert sun but it turns out that NaBloPoMo = National Blog Posting Month
And January 2009's theme is 'CHANGE'. I reckon I can do that. Watch this space.

Happy New Year (Quietly)
Just about to head off in a big old 4x4 to the Omani desert to set up camp and see in the New Year; however, breaking news suggests that Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum may have other ideas:
Talk is that it will be scaled back to a ban on fireworks and excessive external celebrations, but it's certainly an interesting move, especially if your main source of income is tourism :)
Anyway, hope you have a great time (noisy or quiet) wherever you are - see you in 2009!

Phone Gone
Bah. After over ten years without misplacing a mobile, I have only gone and lost my new SonyEricsson in Dubai. There's a lot of desert to search, but in the meantime, if you sent me a text or voicemail or tried to call in the last week or so, I will have been somewhat 'out of range'. Sorry about that.
Normal service will be resumed when I get back to the office on 5th Jan but in the meantime, Happy New Year for 2009!

Blue Christmas
I've always felt that red and green were the wrong colours to represent the true meaning of Christmas:
Or, if you prefer some context:
Cherry *hic* Mistmas, everyone!

Jack It In
You can see why I may have found this funny:
And on that little amuse bouche, I bid you goodnight; for Mister Father Christmas* flies tonight!
