• 24 in 24 Hours

  The dates for the Eid Holidays have just been announced here in Oman and we've worked our last day at college.  

  As we are still in Ramadan and people are fasting - the Eid celebrations following Ramadan will start either on Wednesday or Thursday - we've got these in-between days tomorrow, Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday, which are not part of the Eid festivities but still are days off - and which are the busiest shopping days in the whole year here in the Gulf. It will be absolute chaos out there tomorrow.

  So, I thought this would be a perfect day for doing something I've wanted to do for long time: watching 24 episodes of 24 in 24 hours - in real time, starting the DVD on the hour of the first episode. I've handed out this invitation to my friends:

  

  As it's Season 6, we're kicking off at 6.00 am with the first episode.  I've told people I'll do a cooked breakfast for anyone turning up in the morning.

  I'm ready - let's see how many people turn up.
