The week that was – 20w04

Our first and only Friday in Madina. The day of return is looming around. I haven’t started shopping yet. Too much to do in 3 days. Shabana Mukhtar

The week that was – 20w01

I have read two books already and drafting the review posts. The reviews will be up sometime in next week, or this weekend, depending upon how much time I get. Office was okay. After the skip level (you can read about it here: Shut The Beep Up | How to Not Lead By Example) and…
