The pattern of life in these
"end times" of my Dubai period. Lots of rain, missile alerts,
exploring a famous Baroque church with my BIM pencil, sifting through the final
remnants of accumulated possessions and a final dermatology appointment with
visit to the excellent Plaza Cafe at American Hospital Dubai.
Was Baroque architecture a response by the Catholic
Church to the shock of austere Protestantism? The schism in Christianity that
reflected a deeper north /south divide in Western European history. The fluid
Romance languages versus the guttural Germanic tongues.
What is original and what was added later in this
church? Was it a virgin site when Borromini began his work? Should I model as
suggested by drawings (far from original) or be guided more by Google earth and
photographs? These are just questions that bounce around my head.
I'm looking for a model that feels right, expresses the
Baroque spirit and gives me a deeper understanding of how the building works.
Last few days. Starting to treat myself to things I would
never order on Talabat. Today it's Mr Kunafa. The eponymous sweet plus fresh
mango juice. Yum.
Eucerin was prescribed by my dermatologist. I will miss my health care plan,
but I think I have used the past year or so quite well. Too many long days out
in the garden in Zimbabwe just wearing shorts. This cream seems to be doing a
decent job of repairing some of that damage.
Today the air freight guys came to pack my guitars and paintings. Could have sent
it by sea for half the price, they offered free storage. But who knows when the
straits will open up? Worth the money to remove that uncertainty.
Finally an email from Basingstoke Blues Club. A new life beckons.
To all my BIM buddies in Dubai. I will be at GAJ HQ today at
4pm. It's my last chance to meet up with you guys before I leave.
I know it's short notice and I promised some of you to go for a cup of coffee.
If you can make it let me know. From there we will figure it out. In any case I
will miss you all, too many to name.
The pic is my countdown schedule of Prostate Cancer meds. FYI although it was
caught late and had spread to my pelvis, it's been stable now for 3 years. So
if your urine starts coming out dark red, get to a urologist straight away.
It's treatable.
Love you all and I will still be here on LinkedIn for many years yet. 😎
