Many shops are still closed. We can’t get a good choice of fruits or vegetables, we have to go further for water, drinks or yoghurt. And our next-door bakery is closed; fresh Yemeni bread is good enough to get out of bed for. Many restaurants, eateries and internet places are closed too.
To make matters worse, our tank of cooking gas has run out … no tea or coffee without gas 🙁
The street cleaners are on holiday. Our little rubbish (and origami) bags are piling up by our front gate … can’t wait to throw them on the street to be picked up.
