Crappy weather. Sandstorm last night + thunderstorm now = Mud everywhere! April is the most unstable month of the year in Kuwait. But on a brighter note, the waterways are officially open for fishing boats and divers to resume activity after being suspended during the war. Last Friday was one of those gorgeous, blindingly sunny days with a sea as flat as glass, but nobody was allowed to venture out. I looked out at the sea, enjoying the serenity, but my view was obstructed in the horizon by a hulking battleship. Not a pretty sight, and I'm glad they'll be retreating to deeper waters soon. And at least our long summer isn't shot to hell!
