Found a very long snake today ! I wondered why hubby was so keen for ME to take photos.Then I rembered he was scared stiff of slow worms in the UK ! We also saw a beautiful desert fox but it was so quick we wont quick enough for photo :0( Maybe next time but they quite rare and so quick !!
Heres a photo for the HOME ED lot so you can see what I look like with Hubby! I was totally stupid and got sunburn so that should teach me a lesson in UVA rays if nothing else !
We went to see a huge extinct volcano crater on Friday. It was Amazing! This is the view as you drive up towards it .The wind was extremely strong and the sun hot but it was great fun! No one else around just us and a huge hole :0)
Sam and Chris looking out over edge of crater.This was the side that was blown away with the explosion.
Stuart looking out over crater
Chris looking for rocks to take home and view under the microscope.
A teenager is never without her mobile even in the middle of nowhere!
This is a picture of the crater. All around us was volcanic rock with holes in .It looked like black sponge but rock hard

These other photos where taken this morning . The man on the horse is Delphi the Egyptian who cares for the stud farm. Sam is with the Colt who has to be in a separate paddock because “the girls” gang up on him and beat him up!
Here’s photo’s of my chest (Thanks for early Christmas pressie Isabel. Yes it’s a wooden one not a plastic uplift for my bust !) Things a lot cooler now .We finally got to 30 degrees! The locals are walking around with coats on! They think it is freezing and can’t believe we are all still in t-shirts at night. We tell them it’s nice and warm just like English summer! Hope to finally go and see this extinct Volcano this Friday. Haven’t dared risk it yet as we are waiting for new alternator for the car. Its just hanging in there but don’t want to stuck in middle of desert having to push the damn thing.
One last thing to make you laugh! Stuart went off to see some hay with Dr Mustafa yesterday. On the way back they filled up with petrol and Stuart asked petrol station guy for a receipt so he could claim back the money spent. Now the word for receipt in “futchura” so Stuart has thought. So he says to the man “Footchura?” The man looks at him astonished and shakes his head. Stuart asks again! Still the man shakes his head. Finally Stuart goes up to Dr Mustafa and tells him the guy won’t give him a receipt. So Dr Mustafa gets out has chat with the man and they both fall about laughing. “What’s so funny?” Asked Stuart. It turns out there are two words that sound very similar (a very common thing with Arabic! We keep finding that just a slight slip can mean something entirely different!) Anyway Futchura means receipt but Footchura means Breakfast. So Stuart had been asking for breakfast at 2pm in the middle of Ramadan !!! No wonder the guy was confused. Stuart went into shop for some stuff when he came out a few minutes later Dr Mustafa and the Indian where still rolling around laughing!
Take care and love to you all Moira
