Technology is wonderful

I am sat typing this sitting on my bed, thanks to my laptop and newly installed wireless network! I would like to take credit for its installation, but as anyone who knows me will tell you, I'm useless when it comes to computers. We are able to do this thanks to the 'magic' hands of Ahmed the school computer technician, he is incredible. His hand really is quicker than the eye.

The AC's also seem to behaving themselves once more. The living room one has stopped its impression of the Niagra falls, thanks to the healing hands of Ali electrician and the bedroom one has started working again all of its own accord!! In fact Year 9 explained it to me today, it is to do with the phases of the electricity and when one drops out it will effect some of the sockets in the house. They finished their explanation with 'Welcome to Karachi'.

I really am enjoying school, seeing parents teaching , organising and even covering Y11 Geography was good.

Thomas is very settled in Alex and they have along weekend this weekend so they are travelling 7 hours on a bus to an Oasis in the Western Desert. All I can say is rather him than me, not my idea of fun at all. My next trip is to Lahore on an airplane, to stay in a 5* Hotel and me driven around the sights in an AC car!! That will be at half term, which is only three and half weeks away for us.

Assuming the new moon is sighted tonight, Ramadan will start tomorrow. This means that the practicing Muslims will not eat or drink anything during daylight hours. They will rise before dawn for early prayer and a good breakfast and then fast until after evening prayer, this continues until the next new moon, 28 0r 29 days later.
