What Is The Cost Of A Kioskin A Mall

Returned!

Mounting is misleading! I went back alone with the children (a medal!) But I'm not passed directly through Paris ... Ontario. The cicadas sing, I rehabilitates gradually hear French. I wait quietly as the light is turned green for 3 seconds before honking, I enjoy a variety of meats (ah, a squeegee 27 June, we dreamed about), I loiter in the bookstores (well. .. to be honest, I'm just looking at the shelves of the library of the house that I 'I invaded), I am surprised to see so many dogs in the streets, I breathe the air so light, I'm sick when I heard the old lament of high temperatures (31 degrees in the shade, still !)

I take phone calls with loved ones, while during one year, or Skype or MSN does have enabled us to communicate normally (mild censure by the unique business communication .. ahem)

Dear readers, do not worry, I can still write a dozen articles, which I have the idea, photos, missing only the achievement ...

Patience, then!

Happy holidays to those who have a thought for my half, valiant worker trapped in paradise for a few more weeks, in his marble palace, empty of all furniture that travel by boat ... "murky" it seems!

die of cold in Oman

Possibly. We tried to refresh ourselves, our youngest turned into ice.

We're adventurers, real ones, not even scared!
Let us put us in context. We were in March. In town, the temperatures began to rise, lunch outside had become untenable, and dinner under the starry sky was still bearable.
We had heard about the gathering of rosebuds in the Omani mountains, which can, after learned drying by evaporation, to produce a "mushy" but deemed disgusting. We were told in March.
Very tempted by this unusual tour of crops rose in terraces, we had started looking for accommodation.
One hotel, a very unpleasant phone receptionist, outrageous prices, probably playing on the rarity of housing to 2000 meters. And no way does that make room for the family. Yet it is a practice still very common here, the mattress may not be charged extra, and families themselves Many are welcome ... Except in the Jebel Akhdar.
Ok With another family, we decided to camp.
Logistics is actually more complex: tents, mattresses, sleeping bags, cots, cooking equipment, crockery, camping, and most importantly, food for two days.
We had planned everything, even warm clothes.
We did not know that donkeys were going to sing lullabies throughout the night. We also did not know that the wind was blowing on the plateau where we had pitched our tents, and the thermometer would plummet. At dawn ... a small degree. Nevermind the fact that our last had the good idea to overflow his bed, badly set, I melted the glue of my beloved hiking boots against the bonfire, the inflatable mattress of our friends was flattened during the night, and the children took turns to wake us up one after the other. At dawn, the plane was ORSEC fire, rekindle the flame, evacuation of the baby in the hands frozen in the 4x4 with heated thoroughly (once a year ... it was tested, it works!), Breakfast for muscular survivors, quick wash, and dismantling the camp. At 8 o'clock we were ready to go. Short walk
"quiet" between two villages clinging to the slope. But the view is breathtaking. lemon, pomegranate, roses, faladj, carved door and mina-smurf.
For roses, three weeks of patience would have been necessary. We have seen nothing but buttons. Wait late March or early April to climb the Jebel. Just look at the beautiful phots of our friends A and JL who have been there at the right time, lucky ... Here, this little montage shows that people take the same photos to the same place without consulting ... Sheep of Panurge: Going down in the valley, stop in the village Birkat Al Mawzer abandoned, which is a few hundred meters from the junction which can go up to Jebel Akhdar.

Moral: when it's hot in Muscat, to lose twenty degrees, take your 4x4, and goes to the Jebel Akhdar. In summer, watch out for scorpions, goats that eat the leftovers, and donkeys noisy, cold stunning.
But otherwise the place is charming.

How Do You Remove Butter From A Shirt

fires of hell

There is no doubt we are in a country whose climate is desert. I should have known, because to get to school children, I bypassed two huge dunes, and I am!
So right now, we beat the record heat, "Heat Wave 2003" in France, was the good laugh!
Put yourself in time Omani evidence here in photo: The thermometer
Claire at the edge of implosion (thank you for the photo!)

and ours more reasonable, more reassuring, but the icon heatwave has finally awakened. Local weather reportedly announced 49 ° C in the shade that day.
very hot days, for now, the days were very dry (we opened the oven door, and we went into the oven like ordinary chickens).
Then this week, we have (re) discovered the muggy heat. Sticky and unpleasant, that makes you doubt your appearance (I'm still presentable? No? Well, we're all in the same steam.)

The daily challenge is to enter the car, and install all the world without the cries of pain .. "Ouch" and "Ouch" fuse, the body is boiling, scrap ties belts and harness car seat too. Once everyone is strapped in, you can start the engine and there, the wind, leaves the air cooled by the air conditioning, ... more the driving speed is more fresh. When we arrived home, it is still red as lobsters, but we cross the 5-meter high-speed ... no one behind, is a vein!

Once inside, you look at the beautiful garden by the window, it remains confined near the air conditioners running at full capacity, and it reinvents the winter, but in midsummer.
It disguises itself, we too! ( Dubai-Muscat, 1 everywhere!)

is repeated choreography, or phrases for the show of the school. It
kitchen, even if the oven heats up the atmosphere!
We spend our lives up and down the stairs by himself, saying "there" for anything and everything! Bravo, a gold medal.
And we try to find a system to cool the water for baths and showers in the evening here, water is stored on the roof in a tank that stores heat throughout the day. So, we tried to switch off the water heater and hot water draw-not-as-hot-not-heated. Useless, our water heater is high ... on the roof! It fulfills a bowl, which goes nicely with the room temperature (30 °!). Phew, we can continue to wash the children.
(The laundry dries in 30 minutes ... I'll cry this fall in Paris ...)

It said the destruction of the store opposite, closed for sanitary conditions ... (here, the criteria are already wider than in Europe, just imagine ...)

We watch movies (well, just a little!), we sulk, we play the little mother, or we leave the Hama beads, and after, we found in all corners of the house in the baby's mouth, in the carpet pile, in the drawers of shirts.
friends are invited for a simple snack (30 children in a room, the volume has far exceeded the sound barrier.) Curiously, I made my first board, modeling clay has disappeared traffic. Bad mother?? You have to start his cartoons a day!
