Here There and Everywhere

Brrrr. . . . Shiver . . . Cold in Kuwait

When I checked my WeatherUnderground readings for this morning, I laughed when I saw that the weather at 0630 in Kuwait was exactly the same as in Damascus, Syria, and colder than Seattle! Oh you disbelievers! Here is what it looked like:

It is going to be another GORGEOUS day in Kuwait – cold, clear and sunshiny. OK, AdventureMan, you are right . . . it is nice to have sunshine every day. šŸ™‚

As lovely as it is, this weather is very hard on the poor, without adequate protection from the cold. Please, if you are feeling generous, please help out the good people at Operation Hope – Kuwait as they gather gently used shoes, coats and warm bedding to distribute to the poorest of the poor. No matter what you can give (they can always use your monetary donations, too!) every penny will benefit those who need it the most – the very very poor.

  4. Every other January, I manage to find a day when we’re having colder weather here in Kuwait than in Copenhagen!

    Last year I didn’t manage it but I think this year has a good chance.

  7. Bu Yousef – but in Copenhagen, I don’t think it gets up to 60 – 70 F. every day, even in the middle of winter! This is heaven, even when it gets a little cold at night!

    LOL, Neoark. Take care of yourself and keep warm, you hear!

    I think so, too, Ansam, just perfect. I am loving being back in Kuwait. šŸ™‚
    Ummmm. . . . hot cocoa! Also, try this Christmas Rumless Rum Punch, so good on a cold day, and smells wonderful, too. On top of all that, it is good for you! No kidding!
