Just went outside the house to check oil, water and tyres on my car and for the first time this year, the temperature has reached 50 degC. I thought it felt a bit hot and almost burnt my fingers lifting the bonnet of the car.
Anyway, this is normal and it is likely to get a few degrees hotter in July and August.
We will be driving from Riyadh to Bahrain tomorrow for a few days. The distance is about 500 km and hopefully, we will do it in under 5 hours, including passport control. It is Ramadan now until the 17th July, so there won't be any bars open, but I should still be able to have a few beers from the mini bar in the hotel. At least I hope so, or I will not be a happy bunny.
I can imagine calling room service and saying "2 cokes (for the girls), a bottle of Chardonay (for the boss) and 6 beers please. If successfull, I think this order may be repeated a few times until Wednesday, when we drive back.
