It's Christmas holidays, which means that the girls go horse riding every day at Sayed's stable in Saqqara, which is some 20 km south of Cairo. As you probably know Mary and the girls own two horses: Adham, a 16-year old stallion, and Mirinda, an 8-year old mare. They are also riding on horses owned by Mary's friends Diana and Nadine, and names like Nefertiti, Noor, Humphrey and Mr. Small (no mister no more!) are often heard at the dinner table. At present they, and head groom Reda, are training them for a long desert trip, planned for later this month. Today the blacksmith came as well, to fit new shoes for Adham and Mirinda. They are undergoing this with the same resignation as Piet, when he has to buy new office clothes. End result: the job gets done quickly and everybody is happy!
