Is Anyone There?

It has been entirely too long since I last wrote you all! The reason I say wrote you is because I do feel like I am speaking directly to the people who regularly come and visit my site. I am sure your lives have felt empty and meaningless but don’t fret! I am back, and have loads to write for you!

I have kept a diary of our Hong Kong trip. A mental diary that is, which I will substitute part of with funny, maybe not entirely accurate,  stuff when I cannot remember exactly what happened on that particular day that was interesting. Or if, in fact, nothing interesting happened on that day. And you will all be none the wiser!

I’m sleepy today because there are road works outside our window that started at an obscene hour. The worst part is it’s not consistent! it comes and goes, so I don’t have time to get used to either the silence or the drilling before they stop! So bear with me. Also, Since I left for Hong Kong I have been on overdrive, not a minute to breath. I shouldn’t complain because it is all essentially fun stuff.

What you have to look forward to in the coming days: A 2 part (possibly 3 part if I can squeeze enough interesting things out of it) Hong Kong trip summary. A post about our weekend in the desert. And, when I am less sleep deprived, more of my invaluable insights on being a young Saudi mother.

MISSED YOU ALL! Happy to be back :-)

    Oh have you moved to Hong Kong? If you have, that’s great. I am sure you will love this country. I have been here for 7 yrs now.
