I have been wondering about my postcards. That would have been sent four weeks ago as I wrote all the postcards when I was at the place concerned. I have eight stamps and a number of cards still. Perhaps I should send them all today and see what happens. But I can't think of anything to say.
The first call to prayer has finished, but they sound like they have started again, but softly. Being about fifty metres from the blue mosque has some disadvantages but wherever I was a mosque would be very close. To get from the amarda to here walk straight until a mosque. Turn right, go under the railway line and immediately turn left. Follow that road to a mosque and turn right. The hotel is the second house. And that is a five minute walk. It's funny that the blue mosque is the one I hear, and it's not like in other hotels where I heard all the mosques around. They all start at slightly different times and have different chants and pauses so it can be quite a cacophony! Sometimes I thought they sounded competitive. When I get home there will be peace. No family fighting through the wall, no street noise, no discos and weddings from below (each weekend hotel has had weddings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and these have all been very lavish affairs) and no mosques four times a day.
