Bokra, insha'Allah, they will complete the job. This necessitated drilling a hole through a wall and the kitchen's ceramic wall tile. The air cooler is now functioning with water coming from the kitchen on the opposite side of flat. At the souk I sat with Sherine's mother for a while and watched the fellow beside her make the sieves he was selling.īack at home the workmen soon arrived to continue their ransacking. I could do without this whooshing resistence to my weekly workout. Whoosh became the theme for the day, which has been full of activity.Ī fairly stiff breeze blew against me as I bicycled to the vegetable souk. It's a bit disconcerting to have visitors arrive when one is still in their nightgown. whoooosh' directly outside the bedroom window. I jumped out of bed this morning at 6am, hearing a series of ' whooooosh. Il-humdu-lilah." So as you see, there's a certain logic to it.
I know a man who ends every sentence with it. As previously noted, everything is accomplished through divine intervention here so the expression is commonly used. * Il-humdu-lilah translates as "Thanks be to God".
In the meantime, there is a heck of a mess to clean up. So tomorrow will be a shopping trip to the 'big city' and maybe I'll be ready to paint on Friday. There is a family reputation to uphold here, so I need all the proper equipment. I forgot to buy sandpaper and a edging brush and I don't even have a stir stick. Il-humdu-lilah!* As I sat with my G&T contemplating tomorrow's painting job I realized that I do not have all the necessary equipment. Success! The workmen left today with cool air blowing through the evaporative air cooler.
