Hello - here I am again... time flies - it doesnt seem 2 minutes since I wrote last weeks blog and I am back again! Its only 30 days until I am home now - getting close now with day counting!!
Anyway, I developed a cold on Tuesday - not happy as it threw my training regime completely out the window and coupled with a dust storm my sinuses were sore too - so not the best of weeks really! Anyway, I managed to go to the theatre on Tuesday to see a Theatre Group production about life on Aramco which was quite funny. I also had to set up the house for the social after the play - which I stayed at for approximately 5 minutes as I felt so rough! I am sure I didnt miss much! My days with the theatre group, as a Member at Large (social organiser) have now come to an end anyway as I have resigned. I have found it quite a thankless task and I got moaned at for not being able to attend the meetings as they clash with my classes so I thought - stuff them, they can get someone else to do it!
Weds we went over to Bahrain. Just stayed in and watched more Prison Break - finished Season 1 now - on to Season 2 next. Just waiting to get 3 on DVD also! Didnt feel like the gym on Thursday due to said cold, so we decided to explore Bahrain a bit more and try and find the Manama souk - the traditional part of Bahrain. When we did eventually find a parking space and fought our way through the traffic, we did find the souks, but they are basically just alleyways of shops.
We found the gold souks also and I bought a new watch which is pretty cool. Darron bought a fake rolex which already isnt working properly!!!
We did some grocery shopping and then later went to Upstairs Downstairs for some food. I think it was ok, although I couldnt taste much! After went to JJs (the infamous Irish Bar) for a few and then home...
Friday still not feeling great, but we decided to go to the Yacht Club and use our newly acquired membership! It was a gorgeous day, so we just chilled on the beach and later had some dinner there, before going back to the apartment. Here is a picture of the Yacht Club - its set in a nice bay and has a restaurant and outside bar and lots of boats. Darron's boss has a boat and offered to take us out on it at some point...
That was it really - a pretty uneventful weekend...
I still felt rough on Saturday - in fact we got up at 4am and drove back from Bahrain to Saudi and I just went to bed for the day! Went later to have my dress fitted for the ball, which looks lovely and then just chilled out for the evening. Back at work yesterday - was pretty busy, even though my boss is out. Managed to teach pilates at lunch and last night too and am feeling much better today thank goodness!
Hopefully I can get back to the gym now - at least when I can fit it in! Got boot camp tonight and tomorrow I am going to an abs class as I have to cover it next week as Jason is away, so I need to see what he does! Then I have my spray tan ready for the St Patrick's Day ball on Thursday at the Gulf Hotel in Bahrain... Weds hopefully we are going to Bahrain and then I have hair and nail appointments Thursday, ready for the ball and then we go to the ball!!! Friday, hopefully down to the beach again...
Anyway, there will be lots of photos next week from the ball so I will send them on to you.
Hope you are all doing ok and look forward to trying to see most of you whilst I am home in April.
