bayram
Şeker Bayramı (Sugar Feast) is the three day festival following Ramazan.

I hear today that civil servants at the Passport Office are going on strike in the UK. What a state to get in. I feel so sorry for all the people waiting to have their passports returned, including Rhys who is waiting for Oscars but at least they didn’t book anywhere. If there weren’t so many complaints to be dealt with, maybe they could get the passports out….a few more staff?!

I thought I would share this picture as I love it. It is the Grand Union Canal in Hemel Hempstead, very close to where I used to live. It is just so tranquil….

I went to get some shopping in Ileli as the supermarkets are open but I guess there will be less and less fresh food as the week progresses. Apart from that a very lazy day. Mal and I are both getting through a lot of books, a good thing we have e readers.

In the evening I watched “Gorilla School.” It is all about Damien Aspinall and the gorillas, three from Howletts that they fly to a reserve in Gambon. The Aspinalls have done so much for endangered species. I just love that zoo.
