Good afternoon, Lyn!
Lesson in 5 minutes correcting the English for a degree student's dissertation on Sufi music in Morocco.
Sufism is a sort of mystic branch of Islam, and includes the "whirling dervishes".

I have a friend who has a PhD in Anthropology with a specialism in Sufism
Yeah, very interesting stuff, fascinating history.I have a friend who has a PhD in Anthropology with a specialism in Sufism
I'm wibbled out!
Kontinen and Peers won in a straightforward manner.
Andy lost the first set in a tie break. Won the second in a tie break. And the final set went to a tie break after he'd served for the match twice and been broken both times.
He eventually won in 3h38 11-9 in the tie break.
There's a stadium of people in need of valium and/or a stiff drink
The final is tomorrow :/

Hello, Noel!Hello roomies
I officially started my loan paperwork to buy a house EEK!
Luxury problems
How is everyone today?
Splendid stuff!
Is it that house you shared the photo of ?
I'm good, wifey's about to do a lesson and Tidgy's taking a nap.
Sorting through some old videos this PM.
He has been thorough some long, long games recently, hasn't he ?
Still value for money!
Glad you are happy and that the results went your way.
So we're doing 2 exchanges? One is a card and the other is a gift at or about $20 value?Hello, Roommates!
The card exchange is now up and running.
If anyone wants to send and/ or receive Christmas cards from other Roommates then please add your name, address and country to the Testing Adam's theory of relativity PM. If you're not on it but wish to join in then please tell me or Yvonne so we can have you added to it.
Don' forget there are now only two days to get yourself involved in the TORTOISE or Not So Secret Santa.
No pressure, you don't have to do both or either, just a couple of optional fun things this year for the CDR.
HOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm happy to do both.
Do we send cards ti everyone on the list?
I think Rumi was a dervish? LOVE his poetry!
Yep, the TORTOISE is the gift of up to $20 dollars value, can be less, but shouldn't be more, which you are signed up for.
The card exchange is via the PM of Testing Adam's theory of relativity, so if you want to receive any cards, you'll need to enter your name, address and country in that PM.
You only send cards to those you want to, it's entirely your choice how many you send and to whom.
Just another CDR option this Christmas and a big thanks to Yvonne whose Super-moderator powers allow us to have so many people in one PM.
He was a Persian Sufi mystic, and associated with Dervishes. (before the whirling bit).I think Rumi was a dervish? LOVE his poetry!
he created the idea of ritual dance to enter trance state and be closer to God and his son started the actual whirling stuff, I think, though Rumi himself did dancing of kinds. I will have to check, though.
Hi, Noel!
Yes, all splendid here, thank you.
Put your feet up and have a nice relaxing evening.
Indeed!
To answer your earlier question about the house in the picture, no that wasn't the house. The house pictured didn't work out. I looked at another one and that one is in the running, so we will see
