Actually, it's not so deep and dark at the moment, I am overlooking the Med, it is high summer, long days, Ramadan is imminent. Why is that important to me? Well, we are all starting an hour earlier, so we can all go home an hour earlier, a kind of a night-time-saving scheme, if you like. More to the point, the bar in the camp is opening an hour earlier.
There is an irony in this... longer drinking hours during Ramadan...
To all our friends who observe, and I have forgotten the correct wish, but have a blessed Holy Month of Ramadan... I'll just make it up as I go along.

You all know what I mean anyway...
