Iftar host

We were again invited this year to an iftar (fast-breaking meal during the holy month of Ramadan) by Tim’s Saudi colleagues. We had a very enjoyable time, with everybody waiting for the official breaking of the fast (to the second), then having some dates and tea to renew energy, and then a delicious meal.

A colleague of Tim’s who was kind enough to allow me to post this candid portrait of him. For anybody wondering, that is fruit juice and water in the glasses!
