Kurban Bayram

This week it is Kurban Bayram, a Muslim national holiday so the kids are off school. Kurban Bayram is the festival of the sacrifice - yesterday when travelling on the bus we saw animals cows/sheep/rams etc being dragged along the street blindfolded definitely not for the faint hearted, it's enough to make you turn vegetarian. They then donate parts of said animal to the poor. The kids of course think getting a week off now is great as they would usually be at school. Paul should have been off too but he has had to go back to the UK for a course, ho hum well at least he can pick me up some Cadbury's ha ha, he has his uses!!
