Very old indeed, not seen it open having lived in this village for 45 years.

The grumpiest cat ever, Alice

She is often happy, but never shows it 😄, always scowling

A dog we met in Egypt 😄

A random Egyptian street dog, gave him a little bit of food and he was so damn happy 😊

​

Tried following me for ages, but he wasn't allowed on the coach

Remembering Billy, 1 year on 😥

Remembering our beloved Billy, 1 year since he passed 😢.

​

Missed every single day, there will never be any other cat that comes anywhere close to him.

​

He'd walk to the local shops alongside our dogs and me, waiting patiently outside, always up for an adventure, the funniest guy ever!

​

He was poisoned by an evil bastard, who lived close by. The person responsible is getting his come upance later this year for other evil, much worse things.

​

RIP Billy 💝

Just over the road from The Sphinx

Views from the alternate angle, opposite the Sphinx.

Surely has to be Pizza Hut's best view 😃

Trapped him 😄

Frankie had his testes removed last week, ever since he's been trying to escape!

Trapped him now though, seems quite chilled so far

Egyptian Crisps

Really tasty, especially the prime rib ones.

These were complimentary in our Cairo hotel room.

All the writing is in Arabic on the reverse.

Going to the vets today 😬

Poor Frankie is going to be neutered today, he doesn't know it yet though.

Hopefully, it will stop him trying to hump our 8 year old Pug, Pip.

Am also hoping our other 2 cats will be nicer to him

How the stone blocks were joined in Ancient Egypt

In ancient temples and monuments the giant stones were locked together by chiselling holes in the stones.

At which point a piece of wood was cut and shaped, slightly smaller than the hole.

After this, water was added, this helped the wood expand, and thereby locking the stones in place.

Examples are all over Egypt, but this particular one is from tge Temple at Karnak, a stunning example of craft, skill and hard work

This maybe useful in your understanding

A useful guide for the Ancient Egyptian God's.

Bought from the gift shop at the Karnak Temple in Luxor.

Reasonably priced too, only 700 Egyptian pounds.

Got plenty more updates as I go through my photo's, but will ensure everything is properly annotated, etc

Developed a new habit

Whilst in Egypt is started collecting fridge magnets of some of the places, temples, towns and cities.

Next time we go, there will be more
