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.

Bath slippers

I have a nice room in the Corniche hotel along the boulevard in old Al Mukalla — alas not with a sea view, but instead a view of the nearby mosque from my own little balcony — and I have three beds to choose from.

Most hotels in Yemen provide bath slippers, and so does the Corniche, but they clearly have their own ideas about this service here: in front of my bathroom I find two differently-colored right-foot slippers of two different sizes.
