Ramadan

Re: Ramadan
As Millhouse says, Ramadan Kareem. Except that, as usual here in Oman, Ramadan will be a day later than the rest of the GCC as there was no sighting of the moon here last night so Ramadan doesn’t begin until this evening.

I saw the other day that the setting of the sun for iftar happens 4 minutes later at the top of the Burj Khalifa than it does at the bottom.

Re: Ramadan
I used to love going up to the roof on the first night and looking for the moon to make my own unofficial sighting and declaration.

Re: Ramadan
You have to be a Muslim for the sighting to be valid

I started my Ramadan with a flight to the UK. Bliss.

Re: Ramadan
Ah yes! The month of acceptance and charity and patience and love. Could clearly be seen all over the Carrefours / Lulus / Spinneys etc for sure!

Re: Ramadan
but to be honest it was more of a sad statement of fact about the whole Muslim killing Muslims scenario in other countries and yet being oblivious to their pain and suffering while still having a pious outlook on life
anyway, goal this month is 5 kilos off the gut and hopefully stay off the statins
