Free and quick.

Silvena was really nice, I can see that she doesn't suffer fools, but I totally understand that. Want to join us one evening?

Regarding cars do all the deals dry up after Ramadan ? I need to hire one for Mrs Tock for a couple of months before we are in a position to go shopping.

I was hoping that the dealers must have quiet months after Ramadan and they might put some quiet deals on or is this just wishful thinking ?

I'm a terrible hypocrite and hate being in smoky places now.

I like Ramadan, although I've been working longer hours than normal, my mornings have been crammed with meetings so I have hardly sat at my desk til 2 when most people leave and then blissful afternoons trying to get through the workload. Just have to remember to leave by 6 or after 8 otherwise impossible to get a taxi home.

A few mental taxi drivers one in particular that wanted to kill me, quiet roads though but I'd say that's due to summer as well.

Been good to help me give up the smokes again- now on 16 days not smoking- yay!
