Very hot day as it was all week. I’m
changing the website where I get my Muscat temperature readings. The BBC has a
much more accurate site. Today was 44 +,
my glasses fog up when I go OUTSIDE, opposite of how they fog up at home. The
children wear shorts and T-shirts under their disdashas. The disdashas are made
of a heavy cloth, not some light fabric. The boys are soaked with sweat when
they come in and that is not from playing. It’s too hot for football anymore.
Although I still am comfortable in the heat, I am sweating and have to drink
about 4 liters a day. After school tomorrow several of us are taking a trip to Masirah,
an island off the East coast of Oman, 95
km long north-south, between 12 and 14 km wide, with an area of about 649 km²,
and a population estimated at 12,000 in 12 villages. (Wikipedia). We go Wednesday
and get home on Friday evening. Was at yoga again this evening, sweltering hot,
but a great workout. Our instructor is the very best. Linda arrives in a week,
next Tuesday, can’t wait.
