It's the weekend!

Most of you will read the title of this post and think "Yes? And?", but this is rather exciting for us here in the UAE actually - as we from now on have weekends aligned with (most of) the rest of the world. So instead of school starting the new term today, school is now starting tomorrow and Monday is now becoming the first day of our week. At least for schools and government employees, the private sector can still decide themselves how they want to schedule their week; and for people like Nathan, it still doesn't matter what day is what..!

I have spent this last day of the holidays packing up Christmas. It is a really boring chore, so it has taken me all day with many, many breaks - but now the house is empty and tidy, ready for the cleaners to swoop in tomorrow and then I will redecorate with the normal knick-knacks.
