I am an Irish expat with a husband, three kids and an ancient dog trying very hard not to be " a lady who lunches" This blog details my everyday adventures with a slighty off beat twist, its all a little tongue in cheek. The secret to surviving Cairo is to take a deep breath, head out with and open mind and your sense of humor on full alert , only then can you relish in the unusual sights and unique exchanges that assault your senses on a daily basis
Interest: Surviving everyday Cairo life using humor as the main tool
About me: I moved from Belfast to Cairo......sectarian divides, welcoming hearts, political maneuvering and revolutionary dreams......sure it's a home away from home only much much more fun!

Cucumbers, bananas and high heels Phew, where to start, where have I been? Well I haven’t been far but I’ve been swept up in all the election fever and the demonstrations that proceeded them.
