Groundhog Day...

Today was another day. A day like every other, the sun rose at just after 04h40 and it was ridiculously hot by 07h00. Would it hurt Mother Nature to cut us a little slack? The temperature over the past couple of days has been hovering around 57 degrees celsius. Yes for those keeping track, that's only 43 degrees away from the temperature at which water boils. Yah I know the Human body is 65% water and that's what's got me worried! . I'm sure this weather would be pleasant if we were all in swim trunks and flip flops with an endless supply of Cold Beer. This however is not the case. ....

Sometimes I might as well be Bill Murray from Groundhog day. Its sometimes frightening to see how easy it is to fall into a routine and get slack. I mean, its always terribly hot, the sun is always scorching and 5 times a day the adhan (call to prayer) is played from Mosques across the country. The only differences lie in where we go and what we do. This is what keeps us fresh and keeps us sharp.
For those of you who wish to send some care package items I have made a list of some of the stuff we could use (some of it may sound stupid):

- A thermometor (ours is broken, we think it got too hot.)

- A medium collapsible cooler ( about the size of a 12 pack of beer, no not for beer but for bottles of frozen water) [This only applies to people with fulltime jobs and can afford it, I will pay you back in scotch on my return]

- Noodles, like the cup a soup stuff but noodles.

- Books ( These for me personally, send your history / current events / non fiction )

- Hot Sauce

And anything else I guess....
