### Happy Friday! Today was actually a lazy day for us -- I woke up late for I did not get to sleep properly the previous night. Kids on the other hand, just spent most of their time playing with each other. I had no intention to go out today- first, it was too hot, and second, we still have enough supplies, there was no urgency to go grocery shopping.

50% parking capacity at the mall.
### Back to "normal"? Since I was already at the mall, I thought it would be good to go to the grocery and pick up a few items after I pay for my credit card. **I almost backed out** when I saw streams of people going up the travelator. There were even kids and infants! Whoah! Families may have missed going out together and decided to spend *family day* at the mall. 🙄 A few updates that the government announced recently in terms of going to commercial places:[1] - capacity increased to 60% - children under 12 and people under the age of 70 will be allowed to enter malls and restaurants Of course, it is already a given that all precautionary measures and social distancing guidelines must be followed. ### I still prefer to avoid crowds. In all honesty, while my kids are already *itching* to go to playgrounds, I am not yet that at ease with the idea. We just try to amuse them here at home and let them play at the yard when the weather permits. As to grocery shopping, I plan to just avoid the weekend and fingers crossed, I won't come across to as much crowd as today. That's about it for my **Market Friday**. I hope you all keep safe and healthy! ❤️Arlyn

Sun down in Abu Dhabi
### A quick trip. However, I remembered that my credit card was due today, so I had to carry my lazy bum and head out just a few minutes before 7pm. Sunset here these days is at around 7:15pm and I prefer to go out at this time to avoid the scorching heat (not that it makes a lot of difference!). Of course, I was not the only one with the same thought. When I came to the mall (it was the nearest where I could find my hubby's ATM for withdrawal, and my bank's for card payment), lo and behold! **There were lots of people!** Three weeks ago, I shared that most establishments here do not allow kids younger than 11 and those 60 years and above. Hey, the cars even had to *practice social distancing* at the parking lot 2 months back.
