Coffee with Margaret and another friend. I ask afterward what the friend's name is, having sat with her before. Margaret says that she calls her Doula,  but then adds that it's not her name - but if I say it quickly no one notices. Well, helpful as a technique maybe....

Alex and Lynette, our Australian friends arrive back from Egypt - and Jordan and Israel -  and give us a call. So we go over to share some wine and a great deal of chat about their travels. They were in Cairo for about two weeks as well as time in Israel and Palestine and more extensive travel in Jordan than we've done. They've now been away from Australia nearly a year and going strong.
