The Emirates in mourning


The UAE Mininstry of Presidential affairs has announced the death of Sheikh Mubarak bin Mohammad al Nahyan who passed away on Wednesday. The Ministry announced a three day mourning period which will begin today.


The leaders of this country are highly respected by their people and although three days of mourning doesn't really affect us, apart from the radio stations are playing classical music instead of the usual stuff. For Bert it means extra work as his company cleans mosques so his staff needed to be out there making sure everything was spic and span. Local schools were closed too and as Berts company also cleans them, they use the opportunity to do deep cleaning.
