| 17th December 2008 Rachel | To Gavla ('Gavin and Stacy' has provoked this name!) - From: Jordan!! These photos are great, especially like the one with you philosophizing and also covered in mud. Very amusing about the flying insects too! X |
| 15th December 2008 Gavinbedford | Shearer - From: Jordan!! They're actually starting to get it now!!! I bet Lawrensen is still being dismissive and pessimistic though... |
| 14th December 2008 Dad | Great - From: Jordan!! Terrific blog. What an experience. We've just had our Christmas Card from Sir Donald Maitland, former Ambassador in Damascus, who said he was glad you went to Syria to learn Arabic as the purist Arabic is spoken there. He did n't mention Jordan! My mountain top experience was watching the mighty Tigers humble Liverpool at Anfield live on the internet - and then hearing Shearer say how marvellous they are on Match of the Day. See you Sunday, Dad |
| 11th December 2008 ingrid | - From: My first 10 days in Damascus ooh, wee, so nice to read your blog in the dark and cold city of oslo. i hope you are doing fine, fine, fine! |
| 20th November 2008 Rachel | Oh dear! - From: It's been a bad day, please don't crash your taxi That reads almost comically what with so much going wrong for you! Maybe the real Disneyland is needed to chill you out a little, and don't keep stressing about money! It's out of your control. Hurrah for Matt with getting your visa extension though, cannot imagine how you'd have coped otherwise! Get better soon - it's like getting my big break and laryngitis (except tonsillitis!) Love. X |
| 16th November 2008 Rachel | Today's photos! - From: Hammam Hey cutie in the turban, looking forward to your Lebanon blog! Still laughing whenever I think of you as Kaffien! Missing you. Xx |

| 9th November 2008 Mum | To Our Man in Damascus - From: My first 10 days in Damascus An excellent report, Gavin. You really give a flavour of life in Damascus, and Dad and I are pleased to hear you sounding so content. Hammam sounds fab: a fraction of the cost of the, admittedly good, massage I had this afternoon, and presumably I am still filthy! Also had to make my own decaffeinated tea when I got home! The courtyard looks nice, and I like the concept of inside/outside living, if you have the climate. Love and God Bless, Mum. xxxx |
| 4th November 2008 Gavinbedford | London slang - From: Escaping Turkey I'm already bringing it into the ex-pat community and I tried with some Syrians but that didn't work so well.... |
