Here I go again...

I had very similar feelings on landing back here in Karachi, on Monday morning, as I had had when arriving in Manchester. That being a feeling of never having been away! Everything was much as I had left it, and I was welcomed back home by the sound of generators running!!

The other slight inconvenience was that the fridge had given up the ghost, whilst I had been away. Thankfully, a couple visits by the engineer and Mr Habib doing a little shouting the fridge is now functioning normally and Biquees is able to fill it with lots of delicious food.

School started back on Wednesday for the staff, and we have a series of meetings and CPD sessions. I have also finished the timetable, which I thought I had done before Wednesday. When I arrived in school I was told that our part time maths teacher had resigned, as her husband had a new job in Jeddah! So it was back to the drawing board. I now have a version that works, and although it's not perfect I am pleased with the outcome.

Friday after school I needed to pop to Clippers for my pre season beauty treatments. I had two very enjoyable hours in the chair, in the capable hands of the marvellous Mavis, and I also discovered that I am part Ferengi!!

I have spent today in my jarmers and it has been nice just to lounge around. Tomorrow will be church followed by a trip to the supermarket to stock up on a few essentials and then finishing getting for Monday morning. The best news is that Ramadan is half way through and that Eid will be in two weeks, so that means school will be closed, it's a hard life being a teacher...
