Meteor Shower

We missed the fantastic meteor shower yesterday. The sky was too cloudy and the mosque had its lights on full blast throughout the night. Pity. It occurs once a year between Aug 12 and 13. Maybe you saw it?

Ramadan sweets are on sale now. My favourite is Ktayff - the walnut-wrapped pancakes cooked in honey. It's a no-no in my diet. Yesterday was bad ... i had too much coke and ice-cream (it was too hot) and I felt real sick later - nausea, giddy and blurred vision.

The wakers are doing their rounds ... at about 3am they beat their drums and gongs to wake up muslims to eat before the sun rises. They also wake us up as we live in the muslim quarter!
