Meanwhile in Sudan

It was cool for a few days. Then it got warm again.

Here's an oddity. The mains water is so hot that to take a shower I have to cool it down with tepid water from our 'hot water tank' (thats switch off) .

Norma has an interview today for a big suit job in New York New York. She's a finalist with up to 6 other candidates, and the job spec looks like it was written for her personally.

The local supermarket here is full of stuff from the UK. Some things still have the UK price stickers. Plus a Sudanese price sticker at 2.5 times higher price.

GB£10 for a bottle of non-biological washing machine detergent. It would have been cheaper to buy a supply of Ecover in England and pay the excess baggage.

Another bizarrity. I think it caused by the dry air... If I do some washing up, or use shampoo, it removes the oil from the skin, and whereas in England it would be restored in half a hour, here my skin remains dry and wrinkly for DAYS. Wrinkly, tight, sensitive, uncomfortable.
