hello cyber world

Yes, I am still trying to keep in touch with the cyber world. But every time I promise to blog again in a manner that is even remotely close to being regular, Zido comes along for a smelly nappy change or a sweet cuddle, or a piece of freelance translation or editing lands on my lap with a close deadline, or I feel guilty and gather up an enuthusiasm for finishing a part in my thesis, or I spend hours in the kitchen cooking up an authentic Egyptian dish that me or Ali suddenly craved.. What can I do? C'est la vie indeed.

Anyway, Zido is past one year old now and is as naughty as all boys are, freelance work continues to be good for the mind and the pocket, my PhD remains my unborn baby that I love sometimes and am fed up with some other times, and the kitchen.. well, we gotta eat. That's my personal update, to be brief.

But, I just discovered that I never got round to posting a picture of Ziad on my blog. I had this dream of setting up his own blog since he was born and posting pictures and stuff on it.. Well, imagine what future his blog has now :)

So, here is a loooong overdue picture of my small family.. me, my hubby and my son.
