I am still without reliable e-Mail. There were plenty of small buses and taxis at Medinet Habu. Hapy Habou had more visitors than usual, but was still not busy. The RRH had a short power cut - I have included a picture of the Pleiades cluster (sometimes known as the seven sisters), but because of the full moon it shows little more than can be seen with the naked eye on a really clear, dark, night. At full moon there is never any crisp detail on the moon's surface because there are no shadows.
I dined once more at Fayrouz. There was only one other customer at 8pm. Really sad, but I guess that many people had lunched well or gone to parties. And I appear to be the only Christmas guest at Sheherazade. 6 years ago I was refused a room because they were full! Not even any Cairenes this year. Maybe there will be some next week? Outlook does not want to play with me, and another re-installation is in progress. As this is best done without Anti-Virus software running I am restricting where I go on the Internet today. No Facebook or Luxor Forums until I can restart the protection.
