Team Tuesday (31/8/2010): My Turn

We’re all going out for Lunch today, one of the guys from the office is leaving (non-Global Changemakers, so no need to shed any tears)…. A round of applause to the clever clogs organising it, I can’t eat till 8pm because im fasting… So I have the wonderful job of watching everyone whilst they eat… I’m actually getting used to it… all last week me and Anne went to Lunch… though when I say lunch I mean… Ann EATS… I WATCH….

A quick “Dummies Guide” to Fasting (Ramadan)

  1. Muslims fast for 30 days from Dawn to Dusk without food or water.
  2. It is a time to contemplate and be thankful for what we are given.
  3. It also teaches us restraint over mind and body.
  4. The Quran (Holy Book) was revealed during this month.
  5. The money saved is donated to the poor

As for the office team… were all back …

Fran arrived yesterday, cheerful as ever, with all her stories from the US: flat tyres, tantrums, dresses, strange people…the usual, I guess… this is Fran were talking about…

Gaby is also back… Funnily enough, people in Georgia think she is under 16 years of age… which caused her some problems… On the plus side.. You must have got on the bus for half the price? ( Gaby’s the one in orange.)

Katherine is busy eating everyone’s food without asking… Yes, I did see you taking Matt’s biscuits…

Matt is being his usual self…

Anne is complaining about food … She had some inedible food for lunch yesterday…. At least it makes me feel better for not eating…

The selection for the GYS 2010 will be made some time this week… So good luck to all those who applied… Keep a look out on the website for any delays etc.

Since I will not get a chance to blog again for 4 weeks… I wish everyone a Happy Eid wherever you may be… HAPPY EATING…
