*Apologies in advance – this was written over several sittings when I got a chance at work and may feel a bit disjointed*
I’m writing this with about 25 mins to go before I break fast but I am (as always) stuck at work. Today was meant to be an easier day but alas a friend had a last minute emergency and I decided to help out…
This past week has been just an exercise in getting in to the rhythm of the Ramadan timetable. Currently, it’s pretty good with the fast starting just before 6am and finishing around 7:30pm. Essentially not too different to a normal work day wake up. When the daylight savings kicks in however, it’ll mean a REALLY early start.
I do plan on raising funds again this year but I have to give some priorities to the essentials and hence things are delayed. I’m trying to get my own house in order before I go and start doing even more projects 🤣
On that note, I had the handyman come and assist with getting some of the minor tasks done around the house. At one point, we got a giant shower screen that we were trying to haul up via the lift. We spent AGES literally walking maybe 20meters with it and just as I was about to swipe my keys on the lift to key the floor, the whole thing shattered! I have cuts EVERYWHERE and am super lucky I didn’t any shards in my eyes! Don’t try this at home kids! I wish I had taken a photo but I was in shock when it happened!
That does mean that the new place is so close to ready that it’s not funny. It’s liveable, the bathrooms have had some maintenance work done and things are settling down. While the new place is bigger, it’s not massive, but it does feel like it given the layout means there different places to store things. I’m constantly running around trying to find places that make logical sense to put things and then forgetting where those places are! 😅
In other news, we managed to catch up for dinner with some of the work crew again. It was a late dinner which had me so full I couldn’t eat anything but toast before fasting!
It’s also not even a month til I hopefully go off to Europe! So much to organise between now and then!
Anyway, a bit disjointed, but that’s all for this week!
