I think I last updated you last Wednesday - after work then I taught circuits and then went for a meal with Gay and Linda and also some old friends from my DMC days (1995!!) who now work at Aramco - Robin, Sue and Heather - so - it was good to catch up but as always it was - 10 degrees in the restaurant - note to self - must take a big coat next time I eat there!!
Later I popped into Tina's with Ayon for a quick drink at her happy hour and I have agreed to house sit for her over Christmas - will be nice to have spa
ce for a change as she has a huge house here on camp!Thursday I ran around quite a lot - attempted to catch a cat or two with Chrissy but they were AWOL - so that didnt happen! Then went to this craft fair thing on camp and bought some more Christmas gifts, then had lunch with Ayon and Kaye and then got ready to go to Myla's charity event. Breige and Tracy had done a wonderful job in organising the event and 3 bands gave their time, along with DJ Andy to provide the entertainment all day. Here is a picture of Myla. She is so cute. We managed to raise around 12k pounds altogether for further treatment for a very aggressive tumor she has close to her brain. All the best Myla...xxx
It was a wonderful day and night - here is me and Spook also - I have known Spook since 1998 - he is still here and runs one of the watering holes on Azziz compound!! Also pictured, me and my friend Carmen....
It was rather a late night (or early morning should I say), but I got myself together on Friday and went off to say my farewells to Louise who is leaving for Australia in a week or so. She is having visa problems so cannot stay here so has to go home to sort it out - Louise has been wonderful in all the work she has done with PAWS and all the animals in Kingdom and will be very largely missed - especially by me as I have taken on some of her PAWS work - but I will continue with the plight to help animals out here and hopefully, eventually, be recognised by Saudi for what we are actually doing!!!
The rest of this week hasn't been too busy - in fact Saturday, after a massage (I have a really sore shoulder at the moment) I had a rare night in when I got back! However, my car didnt start, so I had to leave it in the car park at work and walk home.... went to try and get it going last night, and after setting fire to a set of jump leads and my car almost, we got a new set of leads and nothing happened - so Im thinking alternator, battery or starter motor - but the alternator and battery are fairly new... so a tow truck later I was back at the garage and only just made my pilates class last night! Still waiting to hear what the problem is...
Gearing up for the weekend. Going over to Bahrain with some friends for the night and staying and then doing a few things Thursday morning and then off to my birthday party # 1 at Jim's restuarant... should be a good weekend - around 35-40 folk are coming over....
And then only 4 days to go after the weekend and I am back to the real world!! Can't wait...
Off to another Christmas Fair tonight - there have been loads this year - all the "ladies who lunch" spend their year making stuff for the fair's - they are really good - I got some great presents... then we are going running round the golf course in preparation for my 30 minute run with the running club next week! Tomorrow off to Ikea to get a few bits... then its the weekend!
Right, over and out.
Write soon or Ill probably see you before you do!!!
