Friday 19th December
Friday - everywhere except the big supermarkets is closed for prayers. I woke up early as usual and after catching up on my yoga practice, spend the morning washing and cleaning my room (which doesn't take long) an advantage of living in a hotel.
1.30 went to a very nice Pakistani restaurant with 6 other teachers. Lots of veggie food - sag paneer, chick pea curry, houmous, tabbouleh, fresh cucumber and carrot slices, salads, veggie samosas, fried rice. Delicious desserts - an orange one made of semolina (a world away from my much hated English school dinner semolina puddings!) and a pale green courgette dessert with flaked almonds on top.
We got a taxi there but walked back - lovely to actually walk somewhere and be out in the warm Arabian winter sunshine which is a perfect temperature.
Back to the hotel to relax and enjoy my free weekend.
