7th June Egypt III

STAYING COOL? YEAH BABY!

The Traditional Egyptian one piece suit is like a unisex, one size fits all, head to toe, cotton smock. Since being issued with this article of clothing last night I've found it an excellent garment for the prevailing weather conditions.

Sun exposure is minimised whilst the air can still circulate around the entire body.
The only serious drawback would be a noticeable bell tent-like effect should one be unfortunate to experience an involuntary erection in public.

THE DYSLEXIC VANDAL

Famous for its Coptic graffiti from 1st century Christians the tomb of Rameses IV also suffered defacement from later vandals. Judging by the style of script most likely mid 19th century. One such visitor from this less preservation conscious era was one W.N. BROOKE, evidently suffering from that now well recognised word blindness, clearly shown by the reversal of his middle initial. Back then of course he just " couldn't get his letters right".
"Brooke!"
"Yes sir? "
" Come out here and face the class".....etc etc....
