now that the eyes of the coffee morning ladies are playing tricks on them


Explanation:
الصحوة
is a coffee morning or a coffee party -equal to tea party- for women to chat over coffee and have a laugh. They call it sahwa because women make it right after they wake up and serve breakfast to their husbands, then start calling each other over. This term has been used by my Lebanese and Palestinian friends in Kuwait, and they also referred to their first coffee in the morning at the office as 'sahwa' as well.

disagree  Ahmed Dahman: Then how can you translate: الوعي الصحوي بين النساء or ميك اب الصحويات in the same post.

  -> hi Ahmed, I did not say it is the only meaning. What I proposed is a colloquial expression that may be irrelevant. You are also right. It can be also name of a place as you said, and it can also mean upheaval/awakening/etc. for that matter. Thank you.
