Day 176

MAHBOOB, the striker in action.

Mabub showed his great style putting the Remian Raider’s only goal into the net with gusto, with the help of Asif.  This was not his goal shot, but an earlier shot of him centering the ball.  The Raiders finished the game with a 1-1 score requiring a shoot-out.  They won the shoot-out so are in the semi-finals his afternoon at the Abohani field in Dhanmondi. 

Mahboob, the striker!!

FOURTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIION

I wanted to celebrate our 40th anniv. with the footballers I play with on weekends so I had a special meal ordered for them for after our game.  They also came with this cake.

Tilted so you could read the words without standing on your head!

Day 129

ELECTRICIAN

Sayeed came to install an IPS that was donated by a friend.  An IPS builds up charge while the electricity is available and then when electricity shuts down it runs fans and lights etc.  With this option the power outages in the middle of a 100 degree day are more bearable since the fans are still running.  We went 19 months without one.  Finally during this season when we lost our electricity every hour for an hour we hooked up the IPS and battery which generous friends shared with this.  Ironically it has been hooked up for a week.  Immediately when it was hooked up we had some rains it cooled down for three days, and until today we only had one outage which lasted for an hour.

POTENTIAL WALL ARRANGEMENT

I’m considering this or a similar arrangement for one of the walls of our apartment.  Feel free to make comments  including recommendations.  If I knew how to use this program  🙂  I would have put spaces between each photo and had every other photo up or down.  So it goes! Have a great day! I see that the program when posted put spaces between photos! Hurray!  Of course then I had too many for one line! 

Great Smile
