Sunny Doha

Today in Doha we are expecting a sunny day with a forecast maximum for Doha is 48° C. The current temperature is 47° C with a wind chill factor of 37° C. Looking at the five day forecast we are expecting fine weather until Sunday when we may experience some light cloud with the temperature between 38-39° C with lows of 32° C.

It's my day off and I'm well and truly staying inside until 13:30 when the shops open. Then I'm going to get some more fruit and then hide before the masses of people arrive after their Friday prayers at around 16:00.

As you can imagine fruit doesn't last long here (even if it's a vegetable). I feel like I'm at the shops far too often but then again there's not much to do when you come home from work and with shops open till late... There's so much food to try!

There are some crazy people swimming in the pool in the sun. I heard that they had to get the pool people to turn off the pool heating...

Well, I'm off to finish off my washing. Doing laundry here is pretty good. It's guaranteed to be dried in a few hours. It is weird though setting the wash cycle to cool water and having your washing come out warm!

Yours with a ibuprofen free headache (I miss my ibuprofen on days like these),
