Good morning, Keep smiling, It's almost the weekend. Mine starts at 16:00 :banana:

Good morning all, Have a nice day.

Good morning everyone. I trust all are well. It's a day of Microsoft Teams (other communication platforms are available) meetings today. So that will be a day spent on here, YouTube or minesweeper then. ;)

Does yours have a lever you push to the choke position prior to starting? If so, does it adjust when you return to the hare or tortoise (or whatever image you have) position?

My daughter never would have either. She and her brother have been instilled with a fair amount of self respect, by her mother and I. As my earlier remark perhaps pays her a disservice, I should also add she is 32 and has been with her husband since they first met at Uni.

Good morning all, I trust everyone is in fine fettle.

That’s a career to be proud of. Chapeau

Are we mislaying a year or two, or are we being genuine? 🤔

Aye, I had no qualms with my daughters living arrangements. I’d rather that, than her suffer a failed marriage, besides her mother and I only married in 13, when I left the military (I wanted to continue to see the government off for my pension, if I popped my clogs early) As long as she wasn’t...

Indeed, that is correct. My Saudi workforce are as intrigued by our culture as I am theirs, so for the last 3 years i have a quid pro quo with them on Thursday, prior to leaving the office. I am obviously respectful of their religious beliefs, but they will happily explain in great depth to...

Indeed, but we have animals to care for and she has a far simpler (possibly a poor choice of word) life in the UK In my opinion, the men out here suffer from an inferiority complex and see other males (especially unaccompanied males) as a threat. Which, I believe is why married women must wear...

There is still an element of what the family described visible in daily life. Although, with the younger Saudi generation mirroring our own. They have become far more travelled and tend to embrace other cultures, more so than their elders had previously. Women have been driving since mid 2018...

You are correct, most pray 5 times per day, but some choose only 3. There are mixed emotion regarding following a Sat-Sun weekend, with much of the argument stemming from the Jewish/Christian faith element.

Friday is considered Family day, when many families spend the day together praying and doing actives that the father would be absent from during the week.

Alas no, we follow the Arab working routine here. Sunday - Thursday. With Fri - Sat as our weekend. It's been like this since 2013, they previously had Thu - Fri as their weekend. Other Arab nations changed last year to follow a more European working week, but the KSA has yet to follow suit.

Humidity (or lack of) is the worst part, but you do tend to limit your time outdoors.

It's a tad warm today. 🥵

Good morning all, Sat in the office, mid way through my 2nd cup of coffee (Whoopi Goldberg (IYKYK)). It's wasteful to wish away your life, but what the heck. Roll on Thursday. :vb-banana:

Morning all. Last day of the weekend, back to work tomorrow 😕
