Day 93

Happy Nauryz part 2. Still no real idea why they have a second celebration. One thought proffered was that a lot of people went away for holidays during the first Nauryz celebration so they wanted a second event to do the actual celebration. Maybe I could try this for Christmas...

Still there was lots of dancing, singing and some theatre. Children enjoyed it, which was a nice lead into their pyjama party, which also doubled as a babysitting service. Ali and I were able to nip around the block to an Italian restaurant, which served a really nice meal. The only problem was their credit card machine refused several of my cards, which I know are working, and we had limited cash. So a quick trip to wash up in the kitchens later and then Ali was ready to leave.

Had another headache trying to figure out the needlessly over complicated holiday forms, but I think we got there in the end. So it looks like we are coming back to the UK for July. Looking forward to catching up with as many family and friends that are available. Somewhat worried about driving a car after a 6 month break.
