Rama-done

well, almost at least. Seems like we're looking at round about the 12th or 13th for the end of Ramadan and the start of Eid-al-Fitr. Eid, for short, which is a bit like their Christmas, when they celebrate the end of Ramadan and all returns to normal. Ok, as close to normal as this place can be.

This also means we're in for a long week-end and the return of normal shopping hours and restaurants open during daylight hours! Yes, all the restaurants and fast food outlets are closed during the day in Ramadan, don't want to put the temptation out there, now do we. Nope, we can't trust the people to not give in to the temptation either. No, you're all infidels and we won't open them for you either. I do wonder if they'll keep on doing this during Ramadan for the foreseeable future? Why is it, that when you can't go for cheesecake and coffee at Mugg & Bean, that's the only thing you wanna do?

It's looking like we might be moving on the weekend of the 20th. The dude from the moving company was here tonight and he said he can move us in one day, you'll hear happy shouts of "hamdulla" reverberating all over the world when that happens!!

And what is on our list of things to do before the move?

Pack personal stuff - Ja, eventually

Pack PC stuff - uh-hu, will do

Pack jewelery and CD's and all valuables, before the movers are here - yip, will do that too

Go camping on the weekend before the big move - now that's the PERFECT thing to do!! lol, yes, we're going camping!! mad, I know. This is also known as EWAB - extreme work avoidance behaviour.

No news on the cheque yet ...
