Various members of the Social Club have asked for the record to be straightened, so it is true that Rose and I appointed people to offices. However, Dino, Anya, Carrie, Mouna and Matt chose their own titles, with, I think it is reasonable to say, considerable flair.
I also neglected to illustrate an important, although short-term resident, Dr Peter Edwell, normally a lecturer at Macquarie University, but when in Amman, The Country Member:
This is a shot of Pete hugging the Roman fort of Qasr Bsheir. I'll blog on this later too, but while it isn't that common for grown men to go around hugging forts, I'm sure you'll understand when I tell you that Pete wrote his doctoral thesis on the Roman army in the east, and he's an ancient historian. Historians spend a lot of time in libraries, and archaeologists are always telling them they need to get out more. The modern ones do, like Peter, and it's pretty exciting for them.
OK. So we're a bunch of nerds. Nerdy, and proud. And emotional around forts.
