-excerpt- I am just about to go out and sort out my OVIR, my registration in Tajikistan, which needs to be done today. The weather though, is great. For some reason, even at this point expecting it to be freezing, it is actually Summer time in Britain warm, whatever that means. People in T shirts which is a bonus! Need to get on with some language learning now. Am also planning to go and see some contacts I have at the Bactria Centre and the Swiss Development Cooperation this week. Another place on the agenda is the University of Central Asia campus, which is also connected to the Aga Khan.
His Highness himself is one of only two pictures (or indeed anything approaching ornamentation in the flat I am staying in), such is his importance to Ismailis everywhere. The other picture is a small vase of flowers.
