Dinner for one











I enjoy cooking lately! Inspired by Chicks love Food who make a lot of Middle Eastern style dishes, I love to go to the market at Sekala square to buy fresh vegetables and fruits! Too bad Mr. A. doesn't like any food that differs from his mam's cooking so I always make dinner for 1 :)

Little changes

Lately I have the feeling that I am "waiting" too much. I postpone buying things because I want to save money, and because we will need to buy a lot of stuff for the new appartment. It hit me that I could already buy small things and make our current place as cozy as possible. We might go to Cairo in two weeks for paper work and a family visit, and I am thinking to buy two comfortable chairs at Ikea so I can relax better after a long workday!

Bailando

A little glimpse of my 1st of September;

 Good morning El Gouna, i love you too!
 I have breakfast at the hotel in the harbour and walk to my office.
 I collect the samples of china ware for the opening of a new hotel and put it all in boxes. I like it very much: clean and simple (and imported from Germany)
 Coffee break (instant coffee with vanilla flavor)
 Time for some paperwork. My new Ricoh scanner is working much slower than I was hoping for...
 Delivery! Our office receives new tea, coffee, honey, sugar, etc. One of my secret pleasures is to unwrap things and store everthing in an organized way.
 Answering emails while listening to the remix of Bailanda (on repeat). It makes me happy and I feel like dancing!
 The housekeeping comes to clean the studio next door so I give them the key. After they are done, I want to close the door again but the key is stuck. A little panic attack and many prayers later, I manage to get the key out.
 Walk back to the office -clear blue sky, much wind, and palm trees
 At 2pm my lunch break starts and on my way to the hotel buffet, I pass this art
 The harbour in El Gouna
 Food!
 And back to work... I normally take a short cut through the bushes
 After work I take the bus to Hurghada and pick up my friend C. at the kinder garten where she is working. Her classroom is on the second floor and it looks like a tree hut!
 The symbols remind me of my old kinder garten (I think I was the puppy before)
 We change outfits because the Zumba class is starting in the Cultural Center next to the school. It is the first lesson after the summer break and therefore though but very nice! I had missed it! And they played the Bailando song!
C.'s husband takes us home in his disco jeep.
I take a shower, eat chicken with mango and go to zzzzzz.
