No time to do the Friday puzzles

Banwari Lal, bless his soul, is using dish soap to mop the floors with, looking very pleased with himself that there's lots of suds in the bucket.

I have ironed 8 pillow covers and I categorically refuse to do more. This is very reminiscent of the V days (O where are thou, my leetle unironed freak?).

Why is it that when you iron things, the backs of your knees hurt from all the standing around?

Off we go to the Highland Hotel to meet and greet visiting delegates. I shall wear my lovely brown sandals and do the Friday puzzles in the car as we hysterically hunt for the Dubai Ports Authority.
