Ramadhan tomorrow

[yorkshiregoth]

Well tomorrow is the first of Ramadhan, the days fasts are getting longer so no food or drink from about 04:00am until about 20:00pm. May have to reduce the cycling a bit :?:

Summer Ramadhans prove to be very difficult for Muslims living in the north/far north of Scandinavian countries (and other far north/south countries) due to the long and, in some cases, constant hours of daylight.
Winter Ramadhans, though, were a piece of cake; dark most of the time.

I won't be risking the bicycle commute - the days are still a bit too long. Bus and car for the next month for me.

You can only eat it after sunset, though.

You declaring a 'fatwheela' on bike riding Maz?

My nephew does his observance but I reckon he eats all the meals he might miss in the other eleven months!

You should enter 10 of your best puns into a competition.
None of them would win, though (no pun in ten did).

Top line was my dog - he just 'nodded off' on my keyboard!

Did you buy one of those Ramadan Advent Calendars Maz - with the chocolate treats within? I got one for my sister to take back to Morocco...

Yes. I got one from Asda. A 'Countdown Calendar', or so it's called.
Can't see any picture of Carol Vorderman on it anywhere, though!

Why do it?
Who says you should not eat and what reason can there be for it? Is some god out there really going to be unhappy with you for eating???

(sorry if there is any insult or you are offended by this but I really cannot understand religion)
