An interesting day today! It started off with a trip down Road 9 with Liz and Brian who knew where there was a shop that sells curtain poles, but first we hit the book shops. Four book shops and a trip to the Coffee Bean (nice cakes and apparently nice coffee) later, I had the complete set of Narnia stories for Maddison. She is limited to reading 1 a day so they last, it will make a nice change from the Vampire Dairies she has taken to reading.
Anyway then on to the pole shop, anyone who has shopped in Egypt will know things can be a bit hit and miss, today was a hit! 1 adjustable black curtain pole complete with brackets and curtain rings for the main window and 1 brass coloured pole for over the arch complete with brackets and curtain rings all for 141 LE. It was reminiscent of shopping at B and Q only so much smaller, 1 man and two dozen poles to pick from!
Then on to church to pack 120 food bags, the process is starting to run like a smoothly oiled machine now. When I got back Maddy and I went over the road to pick up some essentials, before taking a small break before getting ready to go to home-group.
I should have known something was wrong when Geoff arrived home a little late with a story of a burnt out car and diversions round the back streets. Geoff got a text and phone call about 5:30pm to say a policeman had shot a mini bus driver and people were upset and focusing on the police stations at Port Said and Road 230. I phoned Liz to let her know so she cancelled home-group, along with the chicken curry we were going to have
