I will kill any bugs I catch with a sudden infusion of grappa. The water should be warm enough, and as long as I can swim faster than the refugees I should be okay.
I was born in Benghazi, Libya, we were stationed there in the late 50's. I still have photos of the street where we lived. Infact, after that we were stationed in Cyprus and then later during Suez, we lived in Aden for 2 years.
Hence my liking for the sun (which is sadly lacking at the moment).
I'd like to go back one day and have a look at all the places I don't remember.
I have been to Benghazi several times. It is a "hotbed of trouble-causers" (according to Gadaffi supporters) but everyone I met there was welcoming and friendly.
Thanks to ASH and ASH I'me stranded where no decent ,fair minded mortal with a streak of honour in his being wants to be stranded, a desolate attol called Britain. Even if Malaga had a foot of snow and wolves prowled the streets its got to be better than Manchester on the most sunniest of evenings. Anyway I prefer to do my boozing (and smoking)alongside men with bollocks not insects with yellow stripes on their folded wings.
Anon. I must admit it is nice to have a ciggie when you go out but as I've said many times before, the Spanish would cause riots if they tried it here.
OR. I still can't believe there are people that will vote for Brown.
It's been beautiful here for a week, sunshine morning til night with temperatures around 18.
Auch CR, think about your journey home as an adventure. That's how it used to be 100 years ago. :) Haste ye back.
Oh Anon, you've just reminded me that I'm out tomorrow evening at a real anti-smoking bash. Must remember to take my florescent jacket with me, just so as I'm noticed standing outside in the dark.
18 degrees here. Nice. Bloody cars are covered with a fine dust....ash?
ReplyDeleteWeather is fine here in Libya too.
ReplyDeleteBut there is no fooking beer! I have decided to head home. No idea how long it will take though....
CR.

ReplyDeleteThanks Sue. I'm sure it will all work out.

More bullshit from the ruling junta, I think.
CR.
We just need to get rid of our ruling junta!
