A parcel from Saudi Arabia this afternoon - from my mate - I asked him to get me a thobe - I think it is called that - as opposed to a dishdash - but they might be the same thing?. I'm not sure. The garment drops collar to ankles - unlike a shalwar kameez - which are my normal pajamas - dirt cheap in an Indian or Pakistani bazaar. Part of the deal - was that he insisted that I wear the full fig on Christmas day - that's okay - I'll get dragged up like Lawrence of Arabia - thankfully - living in Govanhill in Glasgow - nobody is going to look twice at you. Weird is normal here - lace up shoes with no socks - what the fuck is that about?. The most ethnically diverse postcode in Scotland - all well and good. That's why I live here. He also sent me - stuff he picked up in the sand - what looks to me - like fossilised shark teeth, an upper Paleolithic axe head and a human flaked cutting tool - which kind of looks like amber - but it couldn't be in that part of the world. It is translucent - and still razor sharp. I'm trying to get them dated - worth a separate picture. Yours - I.
