Temperatures are rising above 40 now. Time to switch on the AC during the time out of the flat and switching it off during night time. To be able to sleep without the noise.


Even the cats are now looking for shadow places, a few I saw hidden under cars in the underground parking of the Virginia Commonwealth University in Education City. Outside strong, hot winds blew from the north, carrying a lot of dust and sand into town. Waves of sand flowed over the road, tickling the body of the car. Inside the parking lot, although exposed to the outside, the winds seized, the heat came down. This made those cats have a rest under the cars.


Once you enter the university campus, there is a canteen to go for food at reasonable prices. Normally it does not exceed 15 Riyals for a proper and nicely prepared meal. There are several menus to chose from, even the pasta can be ordered with ingredients of your choice. And it will be freshly prepared while you are watching. Sometimes it is a bit crowded, but adapting your times of appearance will give you a chance to grab a seat.
