Surprise three day weekend

Saudi Arabia has finally come to its senses and decided that weekends will be on Friday and Saturday, rather than Thursday and Friday. It was something that had been speculated about for long, but such changes can take long to put into action. Or not, the change was announced with 6 days notice and just two days before the start of the weekend it was decided that this weekend will be a three day weekend. 

So swift can decision making be when not living in a democratic country!

Finland 6.12

I was hoping I would be able to blog regularly during my Finland visit. That did not happen, I managed to keep myself busy with other stuff. Here's a quick recap in pictures.

Ett litet bildkollage från senaste Finlandsresan. Tyvärr blev det inget av det mer regelbundna bloggande som jag hade hoppats på. Istället blev de bland annat en eller annan kopp kaffe me brorsan, lite shoppande och träffar med kompisar.

Welcome June!

Summer is well and truly here. You could also say that the roasting season is on. Yesterday it was 41,5 degrees in the shade!!! And it will get hotter...

Sommaren och grillsäsongen är här! Men här i Saudiarabien får man vara beredd på att själv bli grillad om man rör sej utomhus mitt på dagen. Igår hade vi det 41,5 grader varmt - i skuggan. Och ännu är det inte den hetaste tiden på året!
