You are most welcome any time. As are, of course, your whole family if you're ever all in Paris. Marhaba bikoum. We're 10 minutes by train from St Lazare if you catch a direct train, 20 minutes on the train that stops everywhere. It's not really a jardin d'hiver any more though... but a nice place to drink tea or coffee and philosophise. -Simon Qunfuz,

Now seems like much more room because you can see further from most vantage points and you don't have to walk around the bar to get to the kitchen. -Si Hi Mum

Specially like the open kitchen area. Thought I quite liked the half wall division but it looks much better now. It’s looking very nice. Specially like the open kitchen area.

Cool that I finally managed to get back in touch. Many fond memories of chats around a cup of tea & a cigarette. Will email later, busy at work at the moment. -Simon Robin!

I was just thinking about you, wishing that we hadn't lost touch. We're in Oman - that's me and Rana, Ibrahim who will be 9 next week, and Ayaat who was born in Saudi, and is now 5. We're moving to Scotland in the summer. I have a novel coming out in June. It's called The Road from Damascus. Congratulations, very belatedly, for Nathan's birth. Love to Yasmina. And please contact me on qunfuz@hotmail.co.uk Simon!

I'm hoping to post some more photos of me young up on Flickr, they're scanned in and just need a bit of work cleaning them up. Good luck back at work. Love -Si Hi Mum

Don't you think that Nathan has a bit of a look of you when you see yourself a lot younger? Bet you fiddled with the gadgets on this! Getting over our colds and back to work tomorrow. Love to all Mum Well, this is an oldie! Don’t you think that Nathan has a bit of a look of you when you see yourself a lot younger?

Bet you fiddled with the gadgets on this!

I know that 99% of YouTube music is just that - cover versions or bootlegged concerts or MTV captures - but while I get to post about one video a year of actual music, might as well be my own. Merry New Year -Simon Hi Kev,
