My Huge Purple Flower

It’s so funny that I am walking around the office with this huge flower attached to my toes. Some think it’s lovely, some gasp, some stop what they are doing and stare– But I LOVE THEM!

I bought them from SAUCE Dubai for like 800 AED,  I think.

American troops in Kuwait have swine flu

BBC:

Eighteen US soldiers in Kuwait have been tested positive for swine flu, health authorities have said.

The cases are the first to be reported from the Gulf region since the H1N1 outbreak of influenza type A began last month in Mexico.

A Kuwaiti health spokesman told the AFP news agency that the personnel affected had already left the country.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported 12,022 cases of swine flu around the world, with 86 fatalities.

New cases

“All the 18 soldiers have left Kuwait. They had normal symptoms of the disease and were given the necessary medication,” public health department deputy Yussef Mendkar was quoted by AFP.

Kuwait is used as a logistics base for troops serving in Iraq. Some 15,000 troops are based there.

The US personnel had not come into contact with Kuwaiti citizens, the Reuters news agency said.

On Friday, 11 new cases of the disease were confirmed at a Spanish military school about 20 miles outside the capital Madrid.

The disease has now been confirmed in 44 countries, WHO said.

Recession & Divorces

I was listening to BBC Radio on my way to work this morning and the discussion was about the reasons for higher divorce rates during this period of economic crises. Apparently, wives of bankers and high ranked men in the business file for divorce, not because their husband can’t afford a new Gucci bag, it’s because of chores. Yes chores. Men become lazy, and the women hate them. There is a new book out that advises the women to make a spread sheet to calculate the house chores. In order to have a healthy marriage the chores should be 50 50.

If this is the analysis for the divorces rates during  the economic crisis in the UK, whats our excuse?
