Hi! Paul said you had been shipped off to Kuwait and were now learning songs about camels, the ships of the sea :-).

Hope everything is going ok over there and you are safe.

We miss you at the Royal Mile. Last night's sing started out sort of sparsely attended, but then filled out. The songs went around about 3 to 4 times. Paul led several, I sat next to him and led one. The sings ares starting to get dominated by the profesionals (Ships company, the Pirates Royal, and others). This makes a great show but becomes intimidating for the likes of me. Also, they either carry on when others are singing, or don't join in and look strained. I may try out the Alexandria sight on the third Tuesday of every month instead. Other than that the singing seems to be getting better and better.
