I have to admit that its not complete quiet, but as long as you are not a judge or a lawyer, the State of Emergency seems to have little effect on life here.
There have been some demonstrations around the High Courts here in Karachi, and up in Lahore and Islamabad, but no where else. The city here is very quiet and at the moment there appears nothing to worry about.
After a day indoors on Sunday, we went to school as normal on Monday, after which I went to the market and bought my bread and fizzy pop. Then across the road to Musizca to pick up Frasier Series 7 for Rs400/- (just over 3 GBP). Then home to make tea and do some marking.
Today has been similar apart from the 12 hour day!! I arrived at school just before 7am and left just before 7pm after Year 7 and half of Year 8's Parents Evening. Tomorrow is a similar story for the rest of Year 8 and Year 9!!
Then on Thursday I am off to Kuwait with the Music Teacher and 19 students. I think everything is in place, the visas and air tickets arrived today, and the bus is booked to take us to the airport. Emirates have cancelled a flight so instead of arriving back at 4.30am on Sunday morning now we arrive back at 11am. This does mean however that I have had to let teh Commonwealth Ex-Serviceman's Association as I won't be back in time to take their service of remembrance.
Thank you to all those who have been in touch to check that I am alright, and thank you for all those who are praying for me and for Pakistan, it is much apppreciated.
