With all this dust flying around, I have permanently gritty eyes and it bugs me.Anyway - life has been pretty quiet lately, just work and home and some meals at my house, and the pub quiz. I was the question master the other day, for the first time, and it was a lot of fun, but hard work to keep the crowd in check!This weekend it is Nadaam, a big Mongolian festival, in which the three "manly sports" are practised. these are Archery, Horse Riding and Wrestling.I am keeping keeping away form the big celebrations, as I have heard it is quite overwhelming - crowded, full of pick pockets, hot and stuffy, and expensive. Instead, I am heading out of the city on tuesday with some "in the know" people, to watch a kind of mini nadaam, which I think will be a lot more enjoyable.So - that will be the NEXT blog post, but for now I thought I would put us some photos that I took today, I just walked along snapping away, so this is a chronicle of my walk into town, starting from my front door....
