Eid
Mubarak my dear readers. May the day be full of festive fun and joy. Or, if
you're in a non-Muslim country it will probably pass you by, but there we
are.
In case you're wondering what we're up to, the Sand
Warlock is at work (no time off in the twilight world of the airport) and I will
be at home chewing my nails, scratching my head and working half-heartedly until
he gets home.
Then we're off to dinner at the dwelling of an ex-pat
with an assortment of Dutch, Egyptian, English and Scottish people. That sounds
like a joke, doesn't it?
In the mean-time, I just had to share some expert advice
and a possible winner of headline of the month from the ever marvellous Gulf
News.
That advice is: eat less food
What a truly groundbreaking and though provoking piece of
advice, and published on a day associated with feasting after a period of
fasting and abstinence throughout the Muslim world. Until this day, it had
genuinely not occurred to me that if I ate fewer pies, I would be
healthier. Gulf News, I salute you for your foresight.
