Warnings and apologies to all your dedicated Poorhouse fans - we're off on holiday for a couple of weeks. There will therefore be a dreadful lack of pointless stories, replies to messages (but by all means leave some so we have something to do if we come back) and so on. Friends, family, stalkers and bored people can nontheless track our hopefully adventurous progress on the Egypt blog, Internet service permitting. Normal service will be resumed in a bit-more-than-a-fortnight most likely.

Update: We're back, we have a few photos to see (the rest of them will be forced on our nearest and dearest soon) so updates might just resume soon.
