Hi there - hope you are all very well. Things good with me - I thought I would have an easy week as my boss is in Korea, but its been pretty mad really, what with visitors and my team going on business or training trips. I thought we were supposed to be cutting back on spending!
It has been raining today - I took some photos on my walk to work... Problem is when it rains here, there is nowhere for the water to drain to so everywhere gets flooded and I am sure there were multiple pile ups on the roads this morning as nobody slows down in the rain - they still drive like maniacs!
Not alot to report really from last week. We didnt go to boot camp on Monday - went to a diving meeting - I went and did a gym session - my training is coming along really well and I am notic
ing a difference (as are other folk!), although I have had a bit of a sore back, so took the weights easy. I can't believe that a change in diet and 20 mins down the gym 3-4 times a week could have such a dramatic effect - its been hard work but its good to see that it is working!

Tuesday I went to the gym again and then we went to see a Tiffany sale - it was fake stuff - not bad quality but all the best stuff had gone by the time we got there, so I saved my pennies for another day!
Finally, our weekend arrived.. we spent it in Saudi this time, rather than Bahrain. Went out for a drink with Ayon to someone's house (not sure who he was!) then came back and cooked tea. Thursday morning I went to the mall and town with Tracy - I wanted some gifts for Darron's birthday - Wii games and accessories - but it appears that most of Saudi havent caught on to the Wii concept yet - so I will have to get some presents when I am in Bahrain now this weekend!
Managed to get a blackout made at the tailors for our bedroom window in Bahrain - it has a golden colour blind up at the moment which lets lots of light in during the morning so we wanted a black out as we are waking up at 6am on a weekend when we are there!
Went to Cafe Nejaar for lunch with Tracy, Darron and Deirdre - beautiful day for sitting out too - then I went to the beauty shop for a massage and to get my nails done. Later we went out to Kerrie and Simon's for tea - they are friends of Darron's and live on Saad 3 compound - gorgeous houses too - really nice compound. Met up with some of their friends too and had some food, played Taboo and then the others (I bailed!) sang karaoke!
Friday was another glorious day and after brunch at the hobby farm (must take my camera next time!) we went for a bike ride which was hard work as we cycled against the wind most of the time, then we went to Tammimi for food shopping and home for tea - so a pretty relaxing weekend all round for me!
Here is a picture of my living room now as it looks with my own furniture in - except the settee - still looking for something that will fit the minute space!!! The carpet will be going soon and be replaced with wooden flooring due to my apparent "allergy" to house dust!Anyway, thats last week. This week, busy teaching, selling tickets for PAWS, Thurs out for a Japanese meal with Darron for his b/d, then over to Bahrain on Friday for lunch at Trader Vics with his mates for his b/d and off to recover on Saturday!
Hope you are all well and look forward to hearing from you soon....
