We finally had kids at school on Thursday. It still made for a pretty easy week - two days off plus one day without kids!
Friday started out like a lot of uneventful days, but finished quite differently. We felt the aftershocks of two earthquakes that happened north east of Bagdhad, Iraq (5.3 and 5.5 on the Richter scale), which made our building sway back and forth for a few seconds. I had experienced tremors back home, where you feel the vibrations - mostly because we lived in a two storey house - but never felt swaying like this before. I guess living on the 7th floor of a nine floor tower building will do that. It also makes you think : if this thing sways to much and crumbles, ... no more blog I guess. Oh well, for now, we just "ride the wave"!
Saturday was a beautiful day (I should have worn shorts to go outside). I went for a walk to buy ink cartridges. I wrote a few weeks ago that Jacqui and I had found a mall nearby that was within walking distance. Well, around that mall are 5 other malls - not huge in size but still big enough to be a mall. Two of them are very much like the malls we have at home (they both have 4 floors for your shopping pleasure) while the others seem to have two floors and more local shops. It's kind of bizarre when you have to walk through two malls to finally get to the third one to buy what you need. This could be shopping heaven for some people (I'm not one of them!)
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Had supper with Jacqueline last night. It was good to see her!
