A typical Sunday afternoon

We are still adjusting to the weekends in Cairo because Friday is church day.  We finish our working week on Thursday and before we know it we are travelling to the Cathedral early on Friday morning.  But there are occasions when it really does feel like a Sunday - when we can relax in the afternoon with a nice cup of coffee (we have finally found a shop that sells cafetieres and ground coffee), a Bach CD courtesy of BBC music magazine, and an old copy of the Sunday Times.  We have to haggle with the newspaper street vendors depending on the date of the newspaper, how many sections are missing and how dusty it is.  Today been especially dusty because of the khamaseen wind which carries sand and dust from the desert.  It means  the air quality is poorer than normal and visibility restricted which means the views of the skyscrapers are restricted.  So this afternoon is a perfect day to spend having a traditional Sunday afternoon although there is no log fire or roast beef dinner.
