First morning.



This is what my morning looks like. I arranged all my knick knacks (may need to get some more!) and went through my I Spy book. I am yet to see anything!

It’s a pity Helen put snake instead of lizard, because I did see one today just outside my living room window!

On the way to the medical centre I saw a mosque: This is the entrance to the school: This is ‘the dome’ that was gifted by a parent, they do some extra curricular classes in it: This is a seating area the secondary students call the graveyard: Tomorrow I’m going here: Yesterday, I went to the City Centre mall for some general food shopping: And next weekend I’m going to Jebel Sifah:
