Special Skulls

Skulls show their own beautiful sadness. At the Royal Society in London, in the Omani desert, and at an excavation in Oxfordshire.

Meeting Miéville

China Miéville, writer of weird fiction in the best sense of the word.

My personal favourite so far is “The Scar”.

Learning English

Shopping in Biddiyah, Oman – marvel at the offers!

A certain lack of vowels doesn’t mean these masterpieces are incomplete.

I’m sure the perfumes still smäll keind of neis.

 

 

 

 

“Moquette is renowned for its attractive, hard-wearing, durable, and fire-resistant qualities” according to Wikipedia.

You see me ashamed – I was about to mock the word just because I didn’t know it. Wearing sackcloth and ashes!

 

But still.

Cannibalism?

Honour killings on special offer?

Equality?

No need to wonder if there is any female aspect to Islam. In Jalaan Buni al Ali I found proof.
