“An idle mind is a devil's workshop.......

Mine's never idle.
I was listening to this album Sagate and spotted a name that we once did a redevelopment project on.
The old Habu Hotel opposite the Temple.

It's eclectic history one could easily write a book on.
Example: Zahi was thrown out and had to sleep in a tomb....ha!
and the owner never went out without a sidearm.
Obviously built out of ill gotten diggings, why not ?
"One man's' tomb robber is another man's archaeologian" is he not ?

Anyhow Georges Kazazian probably the greatest Oud player ever,
answered a question to me this morning, bless...

Dear Sir,
I wondered what was behind the inspiration of Hotel Habu on Sagate.
And does it relate to the old Habu Hotel in Medinet Habu ?
Respectfully,
George.

Sim ventured forth just now, only essentials, wines, cheeses, artisan bread, more wine, chocolate puddings.

She say's, everyone round here are 'social distancing,
I still made her stand on the balcony for an hour.... 'joke.

Anyhow she said and I confirmed, in the last hour it's gone from sunny, to snow to sunny to snow again.
Just looked out to St Paul's and I think it's raining frogs....
Oh! No... Ambridge has no Covid 19...damn..
