Think it's 3 days from today - so Fri, Sat and Sun. Schools open on Monday.
PS: Shadya - this is probably the big news you mentioned in the rumour thread - the one your contact was alluding to!

Re: President mourns UAQ Ruler
So is this the same ruler of UAQ that I heard on a radio news report over EID had died? Or is this the second one in a month?

It is to be hoped (by me, anyway) that his successor will continue in his style of leadership.

I discovered this after driving 200 km to the Aircraft museum in Sharjah. "No, museum closed. Leader of Um Al Quwaim dead".
