Florence farewells the sharks and greets Autumn

An honest impression of me today....
Autumn casts her cloak across Kuwait and swathes of green appear on once sandy surfaces. Trees have assumed a more assertive coat of glossiness, the leaves verdant with hope of longevity.
The sharks prey elsewhere, from Lambourghinis and Ferraris. The once fruitful Gulf is now inhabited by too few babes for too much effort.

SAturday morning was spent lying back in the sun on a peaceful beach- no jet skis anymore as autumn casts her shadow and the cold begins( 30deg).... The only pink chickie babe's years have found her more towards the old boiler state with only hints of the spring chicken! So the potential prey is no more for those sharks.... but summer will come again, and the sharks will circle again....

So what does Autumn bring? It brings a cooler world and we hasten to make the most of the time we can be outside... I believe that April, May will come all too soon.
There are birds around- pigeons are a favourite pet for some Kuwaitis and they seem to be about the only bird that can exist here.

I wandered through Marina Mall last weekend, checking out the winter clothign s I have brought almost none with me. At Xmas, I will need some serious clothing as Denmark is cold and I think Azerbeijan will whack me with some coldness. I still have people telling me how cold it will get here... it will be freezing , Miss ... tthey say, it is so so cold. Sure ! The winter clothes are serious though! It is like the clothes they sell in the tropics when Cairns thinks it is having winter!

And my beautiful prayer rug is now with me... with its wool and silken weaving.. after having visited the souk again.
