Ramadan dos and dont's
 
Ramadan Kareem to all our muslim friends.

I have a question, obviously smoking in public during daylight hours is a no no - are you allowed to smoke on your balcony? as its private but obviously other people can see you? ( and for those who know I gave up- it lasted for 8 months :()

Actually yes you can darling, as long as you aren't leaning over the balcony or being very obvious about it. What you do in your own home is fine..obviously I don't think I would have a BBQ during the day .... I used to smoke in my garden during Ramadan and I am in a very local area :D

it;s ok I can go all day without one, just really fancied one this afternoon but I can wait. Not sure I want to risk getting caught and arrested and ending up in some crappy paper with a rhyming nicname!

I have commiserated the 1st day of Ramadan by having a bacon sandwich for breakfast, 10 marlboro reds, I am currently on my Ist Savanna dry and I shall play poker online later. I did go out for an hour and not smoke but I discreetly sucked on a polo. Same normal rules apply don't do anything here obvious and inside your own 4 walls you can do as you wish.

I actually thought you could eat until sunrise if you are fasting, here its actually 0324 when you have to start the fast. The poor lady now has an extra day added to her fasting account........
