Brammers is overtired and overstimulated ...

I spoke with a dear friend earlier tonight. I confessed that I was run off my feet today and quite deranged after the weekend of boiling, though ticking off my to-do list with reasonable satisfaction in preparation for the last mag issues of the year and my imminent scarpering to Blessed Winter.

She advised me to take a cool drink of something refreshing. I had just the thing: pomegranate juice in the fridge after my weekend raid of the health food shop.

I poured a glass, drank it, and fell back nearly 35 years into hot desert cities with morning calls to prayer and mustachioed men handing sticky glasses slick with frost against the heat of the day and brimming with tart sweet pink amber juice to small children and admonishing all of us to respect our parents and play somewhere else.

I am now not entirely certain that I am taking the right trip ...

Yes, it does sound like a fun trip for the two of us. Perhaps with at least one J for when we need big grumpy men, as I no longer look like a boy ...

Hrm. Shall we have them pick straws? Which one has to suffer the heat and us?

I'm rather keen on egypt, too.

It'd best be yours, mine is a delicate wee petal in the heat. Yes, it's a bit fab, but mostly outside Cairo.

Maybe we can rent a J.

Can you imagine how much Travel Husbands would rock? Big burly men who think nothing of carting ports on and off Italian trains, finding an obscure atelier, clearing a path through a souk, telling us we look fabulous at the end of a long day, and having loads of pockets for lipgloss and sunblock ...

Actually, I am sure there is a successful business model in there somewhere ...

I think we should look into this!
