Meet Mohammed!

I promised myself i will do this a long time ago ...

So, this is Mohammed, our cleaner! He comes every two weeks, or now every Monday and spends the whole day cleaning!!!

He is very good... he cleans the balconies (covered in dust) and hte shutters, although he often forgets to do the surfaces in my room and i get annoyed with that!

He was such a blessing to us, because when both me and Nichole returned to Cairo, our house was just covered in dust; we called him... he came over one evening just to see us, while i was cleaning the bathroom. After a long chat with Nichole, he decided to join in and help, although we asked him to come next day.

Anyway, next morning he went to the flat - we had left a key for him. At 4 when we got home, he was still there and disapointed, as there was no running water at our place... actually just a few drops coming out... poor thing!!! He;s been trying to clean the whole day! I ended up in tears that day, as there was so much to do at school and then coming home to a flat that was still dirty ... I left to Bronwyn's house with Nichole and left Mohammed there. He stayed until 10 pm and returned next morning to finish off...

Now our house is clean and we managed to do the groceries!!!!

Mohammed is so funny!!! His English is limited to a vocabulary related to cleaning (coz that is what he does) and he always feels like he needs to show us what he did; so he goes, with his funny accent: "Zis: Clean! Zis: Clean!""Too much dust here!"

We always laugh when he says: "it's ok"coz of his accent!!! Such a shame that cannot be written down!!
