  Ramadan Futuur Keep Friday Special Fri 29 Oct 2004  

Fri 29 Oct

Friday. The weekend. It is before 9am. The others have not surfaced. It is our day off today. Think I will start a "keep Friday special" campaign. I nip out and buy sausages, eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, onions and bread rolls. I start preparing breakfast. Neil appears. I make a jug of coffee; Neil wakes Eleanor (who is not noted for getting up in the mornings). We eat. We enjoy. Wonderful.

Later, I need a little retail therapy so set off to Souq Shabbi, shopping list in had and a fist full of dinars.

I see a snow-dome containing some cute mice on skates; poised to kiss. A battery-powered windmill spectacularly blows the polystyrene snow into a blizzard. I manage to resist. I test drive a bicycle, buy a prayer mat and comically step on a disappearing man-hole cover, falling flat on my face and getting very wet and smelly in the process.
