A very successful day. It is still too hot to sleep at night for very long without the air con on so we were awake before 8 am this morning. I spent the morning ‘doing’ our tax returns for 2010-2011 ready to post when we get back to the UK. Job Done! Then we tried for the bank again. Ramadan started today so we weren’t too sure what time they would be open. We arrived at 1pm to find they shut at 1:30 pm for Ramadan, so just on time. The bank works on collecting a ticket with a number on then waiting until your number appears at the counter, which stops the Egyptians pushing in, we got ticket 120 today and the counter was up to 112 already so we didn’t have to wait too long before a member of staff dealt with us. There was no money available upstairs so they had to send downstairs to the vault for our cash while we waited. Eventually it arrived and we wended our way home to follow the usual Garnett past times – computer games, watching tv and sewing, for the rest of the day.
