We're moving!

This whole site is being moved to a shiny new server - as are all my sites, in fact. Apologies for the bumpy road ahead, but at the end of that road things will become fast and smooth.

Once the site at the new server is ready, this message will automatically disappear!

Meanwhile, you can see how the move is progressing at the status page.

A thick envelope

The confirmation of my booking arrived today. A thick envelope, with a stack of papers, mostly visa application forms, with a sheet of instructions for each. Reading through it all, I noticed they stated that for the Iran visa application women need a ‘veiled’ photograph. Eerr - what exactly is ‘veiled’? That can mean a lot of different things. So I called the visa agency: it means your hair needs to be covered. Not your face(!).
