LuLu's treats

This weeks excitement from LuLu’s as below:-





Our favourite lollies from the UK! Not at our favourite £3 though - 27.50 Dhs I think, which is nearly a fiver. Still..... we just had to have them!

Beard!

While on holiday last week, I couldn’t be bothered to shave. At the end of the week I thought I might keep some of it! Well, I’m living among Arabs, so I thought it appropriate ☺

You can let me know what you think by voting !

Ramadan from tomorrow

The new moon has been spotted by the Moon Sighting Committee in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi and therefore Ramadan has been declared as starting from tomorrow.

So basically, no eating, drinking, smoking, dancing or playing loud music during daylight hours for a month. It’s unlikely you will be arrested for any of this, unless you are being really inconsiderate and a complaint was made to the police, but mostly you would just get very dirty looks. Really, you just need to be considerate of those around you that are fasting and respect what is for them a very holy time.

Time Out Abu Dhabi has a good summary of what Ramadan is all about.

Ramadan Kareem to my Muslim readers!

Back in Abu Dhabi

We had a great week back home. It was good to see all our kids and we managed to have a BBQ/Pool party one day for all our family and some friends without any rain falling!

Now back in the sweat box!

Here’s a few pictures I took of the cottage and surrounding location..... (more in a web album - link at the bottom of the page)

Holiday in Saffron Walden

Off home for a week!

Yippee!

We fly in the morning. Out of the heat for a week. Can’t wait.

Will be great to see our kids, family and friends.

We have hired this place for a week in the English countryside with our kids and some of their other halves. Sunday we have invited friends and family over for BBQ/Pool party! Hope the weather is ok!
