Doha Days

Wasit

Was it really raining last night? No! Only a few tepid sandy drops actually reached the roof of our newly cleaned car. The accompanying thunder and lightning woke us at 0300. What at first I took to be sound of the refreshing drumming rain turned out to be the whir of the air con fans. I have never been in a thunderstorm without getting soaked. Until this year I have never lived in a desert. Desert life is one of continual challenge to our Northern European mindset!

This blip was taken in the street outside my main office base at the end of an extremely busy week. The sandy drops are visible on the car's roof. Must find out what Wasit means in Arabic!
