Not much news from this part of the world. It's kind of interesting; the Republican political convention in the States is not getting the media attention here that the Democratic one received. BBC and CNN this morning were all sports etc.... I have not noticed anything yet on Al Jazeera. So, we'll see. It is an interesting thing to keep tabs on.

I have been able to meet now with the munchkins' teachers. All is well. We've already been having friends over, and we have more playdates set for this weekend.
Thinking of friends, we have become acquainted with another family from the same home country (our daughters are buddies from school). We're hoping to attend an Iftar (breaking the fast at Ramadan) meal at one of the big hotels together. We found a place that does the huge tent along with a buffet of Lebanese food. I'll post snaps if we go.
Today will include a trip into the big city. I need to ship some documents to the home country.
I posted a video today of Daisy Rat. She's healing up nicely from all the little mites, poor thing. We found a very nice vet from South Africa. Our new vet here told us that the mites will only bother Daisy, not people - Thank goodness! When the vet first met Daisy she replied, "You are a manky little thing aren't you!" We've changed her bedding to clean old rags (dish towels and socks). I think she picked up the mites from a bag of pine bedding (it was still sealed in the package it came in from Europe). She's good company. She loves to sit in my lap for a nice rub down and scratch.
Well, it's off to the kitchen for a bit.
