A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Sunday is 'Monday'

This is Izzy. Izzy is short for Queen Isabella. She is a very old kitty! Since I am now on the move, she resides with one of my best friends from my university days and his family. I miss
Izzy very much, but she would not be a compatible housmate for Daisy Rat! I have to have critters. Daisy Rat does not make up for missing my four cats and dog, but she's warm and furry and friendly.
There are large beautiful aquariums available for purchase here. I'm toying with the idea of a salt tank. I still would like a stingray as a pet. I saw one in a petshop not two days ago. The price was very low for the little girl ray. I was informed by the shop clerk that the little girl ray was born in the 'wild' near Singapore. I don't believe I would be comfortable with a wild caught ray possibly taken from a habitat that is so sensitive to human interference. Rays are among my favorite salt water critters: so beautiful and rather intelligent. I just would not want to step on one. I may just go back to keeping chiclids (did I spell that correctly?); we'll see.
This has been a blissfully relaxed morning. I've had a cup of chocolate flavored coffee, a reheated local bread thing filled with white salty cheese topped with sesame seeds, and something called a roti. The roti was this square shaped bread thing filled with spicy chicken/potato/curry mix. Yummy. Gastronomic bliss. Things like the roti make up for the lack of familiar morning pork consumables! I don't know if the salty cheese thing and the roti are supposed to be breakfast foods, but oh well.
The temperatures here are coming down a bit. The thermometer currently reads 37 (that's about 100 F). Yes, that is a lower temperature compared to a few weeks ago. Hot isn't it?
FYI The pick of me and the munchkins at the bottom is actually from Central America. But, I liked it so here it is!
