What's out there....
Darling Mama had her 80th birthday yesterday and apparently she ain't stopping anytime soon. In Hong Kong, the national anthem was not allowed to be played at the Cathedral service...could this be why all the Brits are leaving...maybe they hadn't heard that The China Club (of all places...!) would be playing 'God Save the Queen', in case anyone had missed it at the rugby sevens!
Very worrying, is the uncovering, the other day, of an Hamas arms store on Jordanian soil...varied thoughts from the press. If Hamas continues like this, it will have no friends left....knowing how the bush telegraph in Jordan works...there will be many, many conspiracy theories on this one....
I've been to Clarksdale, trust me, I can really see how this article is true...if ever a town had a right side and a wrong side of the railway tracks...Clarksdale is it...
This weekend is the Orthodox Church's Easter. In Jordan they celebrate the Orthodox Easter, myself and my colleagues were unaware of this for our first Easter...and organised the Easter Bunny to visit on the 'wrong' Easter Sunday....by the time we realised our error and had to re-book, all the bunnies were gone...so we were left with the "Easter Beaver"!!
The Easter ritual of crucifixions that occur in the Philippines, is really not something I can get my head around...however, this year the news was added to by a Brit who came to the Philippines with the original intent of being crucified but at the last minute realised that he felt his "God wanted me only to pray at the foot of my cross."
Well dressed pooches of Hong Kong, beware, your Burberry coats are no longer sufficient, Japan has upped the ante!
And also from The Times, maybe all is not what it seems with Mr Uwano
Plastic surgery in Beirut, for all sorts of reasons....

Fascinating that I'd read about Clarksdale here, referenced through a story about it from London! My grandparents lived there, (Gdad a school super). It's the home of the Blues with a great little museum to it. Nearby is rumored to be "the crossroads." You may also know that Morgan Freeman has a restaurant right near those dividing tracks. Clarksdale is a curious little town that seems on the brink of disappearing. The riverboat gambling up the pike a short bit seems to have sucked the little life there north (and on further to Memphis.)
