What are you doing for EID
 
On the assumption that EID is 6th and 7th of July
What are your plans?

and I will definitely be running away, from all the visitors who flock to my house to meet me. People I dont really know nor really care about and who usually dont even call or text me the whole year except when they want to buy something from me and then complain about it later. So they want to show up and bother me and make me get out of my PJs so yes I think it is a good idea that I will run away to RAK and find a beach and dehydrate myself like a champion that I am.
Is there something called an Eid Grinch?

First, being envious of all you people for whom Eid will have started; we in Oman have another 24 hours to wait

Second, having a bacon and sausage sarnie for breakfast on Wednesday morning

Third, going out to lunch on Friday where we've been promised roast leg of pork with all the trimmings

Fourth, congratulating ourselves that our pre-Ramadan planning worked and that we didn't run out of anything despite having a pretty hectic, social Ramadan.

Happy days, everyone 👍😎

Public sector on leave all week though...so maybe they'll just be busy having fun and forget all about us. :(

While on the topic of moon sighting committee
this is what happened a few days ago in Pakistan with this 'supposedly respectable' member of the moon sighting committee with Pakistan's version of kardashian
she is a bimbo of the highest level and a media attention ho but I am SO glad that she took those pics and then leaked them.
He is a giant sleaze ball hiding behind the facade of piety and his beard and I HATE hypocrites like that!!

Most important question - when is the dry night? Tuesday or Wednesday?
