Finally the blog is back!

Hi folks - its been a while, but I am back. Hope you are all doing ok...

I have been so busy since I got back to Saudi - mainly with a PAWS 80's disco event I am holding in a few weeks and I am trying hard to get some revision done for my personal training theory - that is hard going as I am struggling to concentrate at the moment... I did, however, pass my practical exam which was good news - finally found out about that...

Home was great though, although it was a mad rush as usual. I ended up going home a day earlier than planned as I had messed my flights up and if it hadn't been for BA sending me an email about my flight I wouldn't have known! I spent the majority of the time catching up with friends and also spent as much time as I could with K,K and G too and Dad. All are doing ok.

Had a wild night out at Rock City with Nicki and some other friends - real trip down memory lane - such a laugh... Spent a few days in York also with James which seemed to go ok. He is back in Saudi now next week - it seems ages since I last saw him! Also had a day at Alton Towers with my friend Tracy, from here, although managed to get whiplash from the Rita ride and got stung by a wasp!

I got back here for a few days and then went off to Muscat in Oman on a diving weekend. The resort was absolutely gorgeous - right on the beach - and we got a few good dives in. Saw a turtle, huge pod of dolphins, lion fish, moray eels and some cuttle fish. It was nice to relax at the bar in the evenings too and a lovely setting... really impressed with the place.. My diving is improving loads now and I really do enjoy it now I am much more confident...

Work has been silly this week - I have been organising a retirement lunch - glad its over now as everyone was changing their minds til the last minute about who was invited, how many were coming, etc.. driven me mad. Havent had time to do any gym work - was at the vets again last night with another cat for sterilization and there are 8 more to catch from that area... Going to town tonight to do some PAWS stuff and meal tomorrow and Bahrain at the weekend - and next week will be all about selling the PAWS tickets for the event!

I am off to Dubai on the 13th Oct for my nutrition course then a few weeks later off to India and then on the 15th December I will be home for 2.5 weeks over Christmas!!! Its non-stop the rest of this year...

Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos I have posted on my blog.

See you soon,

Jill
