You say Saturday i say Thursday


The weather here is perfect. There is always a bit of wind and the temperature is is perfect for a t shirt. At night it gets a little fresher still not jumper weather though. All this does not make up for how boring it is here. The place has great facilities but there is no one here to share it with, which in turn makes it even more boring.

Today is a “Saturday” in Saudi and last night (Friday) we planned to go to the Speakeasy on the compound after dinner. It sounds interesting the guy makes beer, but its a bit strong so he mixes it up with the non alcoholic beer. He was not in though, so my verdict will have to come another day. In “Tesco” I saw non alcoholic Budweiser and a few others, made me chuckle. Took forever to get out of the shopping. When its parer time they close the way out, so you wait as the queue builds up but at the same time the way into the shop is open. Crazy.
