This morning Your Correspondent, along with the Middle Boy, went on a desert ride on his new "Hero Jet Gold Extra Durable and Shining" bicycle (Middle Boy on his new "Titanic Fashion Bike"). We stopped off for a few minutes to watch some guys play cricket in the sand (It's Friday, and most of the workers get their only day off today). It was very enjoyable, especially being out and about with the boy, and felt relaxed and natural.
Until I realized we were discussing cricket tactics watching Indian guys play the game in the desert of the Arabian peninsula.
We're a long way from Texas. And now we've been here awhile.

This gave me goosebumps. I miss those "incredibly African" moments, as we called them. I cannot wait to live overseas again- I just know that day will come!
