Nice boots

But the tips look like they're beginning to fray, probably from kicking things or people too much.  You better get the tips sealed as soon as possible.  It would be a shame to waste such nice boots.  So I have to guess where you are right now?  That grass looks civilized.  If you're in America, I would say you are in big city Arizona, Nevada or Texas.  Arizona winters are quite nice, as far as I remember.  Very comfortable.  Old people flock to Phoenix in droves for winter.

I'm sorry the holidays were a disappointment for you.  I could feel your disappointment at the soles of my feet, and in my dreams.  People disappoint, you know that.  I guess knowing and experiencing are different things.  It must be frustrating for you not to be able to talk about it, being the nice girl that you are.  Don't worry my love, just be patient.  Perfection is for the next life, in this life we all have to earn perfection.  At least Allah has increased you in beauty.  This is what most people want.  So please cover your bosom and lower your gaze.  I know you have to work, but otherwise don't show off your beauty.

I recently gave Mary Unknown7 a few new songs to learn to add to her set.  This is one of them:

A better story makes a better Bond

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  Feeling better, and more collected?  Ah, it must be blissful to relax and warm your tootsies by the fire reading a book, and enjoy a nice hot cup of tea.  Or hot chocolate.  Me I'm sweltering here, it's hot, and hot chocolate is the last thing I want.  I want an ice pop.  Blackcurrant.

I don't normally check the tagged posts but hey, your big brother makes a pretty good Scotsman.  In training to be Bond?  James Bond is supposed to be a callous womanizer.  Don't get out of character!  He still looks a bit young: Sean Connery was 32 when he became Bond.  I sure hope the storytelling gets better with the Bond movies.  "SPECTRE" was deplorable.  It started off with potential, but then it got so shallow.  What a waste of a villain.  Don't make the villain young and good looking!  The villain is supposed to be an ugly old man!  Slow things down, give us more suspense and intrigue, not more action!  It's not that the modern writers after Ian Fleming can't write a good Bond movie.  "Skyfall" was good.  So was "Tomorrow Never Dies".  I suppose it's a general plague in Hollywood, the plague of lack of creativity.

I haven't had dinner yet.  I'm making fried flat noodles, which has been my usual fare for Saturday night.  I got all the meats and veggies chopped up, I just need to start frying.  Take care, my darling!  Calm your heart!


Hmmm... Mary Unknown7 has been looking very Japanese lately...

Canada

Hi Natty!  Was it a stressful Christmas?  I'm sorry about that.  Being Mrs. Global does have its worries, I suppose.  But don't you worry about a thing, my darling.  Relax, and enjoy the ride.  Everything is going to work out just great for us inshaAllah.  You are beautiful, and I love you.

I finally have a little bit of money, so I bought some of MY food, and made it for dinner: cheeseburgers and fries.  Yeah the locals may be hooked on rice, but I can't handle that everyday.  I'm more of a bread guy.  Rice is tedious to cook and to clean up.  Bread is cheaper to make than rice.  Thank God I know how to make dough.  I don't have the right oven for making buns, and I can't compete with the machines at making sliced bread, but I can still make bread for pitas, pizzas, and tortillas.  But dinner was cheeseburgers and fries.  Oh no!  I don't have gherkins!  Gherkins take 2 weeks to proof.  Until I buy the stuff in a jar, which is overpriced.

Drivin' around

Oh hi, Natty!  How are you, Sweetheart?  I'm sure you are having a wonderful time.  Yeah, I'm kind of late today.  I only just got a chance to actually really sit down in front of the computer.  I spent most of the day driving my parents around.  It started early: I always wake up at 4 am but today I didn't get to go back to sleep after the dawn prayer.  My Mom had to be at the clinic, so I went back to sleep there, on one of the waiting room chairs.  That's one gift I have, if I may call it that.  To be able to fall asleep in a crowd.  I can fall asleep waiting in line.  It helps to sit, of course.  My parents had all sorts of shopping to do, so I drove them around in the morning and after Mary Unknown7's session, right up until sunset.  Then I had to eat and go to the mosque.  At least I didn't have to cook today.  You may have guessed that having both my parents in the car means that I didn't do the driving, even though I was the driver.  Whew!  Anyway, I have to go.  It's time for me and Mary to work on wardrobe.  After that, I think I'll just veg out and watch TV.

Merry Christmas, my beloved Natty

To you and your family.
