The new pad and Bahrain update....

Hi folks
Haven't written for a while - most of us are glued to the news at the moment with recent events in Bahrain and around here. I think some of us are a little worried about which way this might go - Iran seem to be putting their oar in now which is causing a bit more friction - at this point - I really don't know which way it will go. The army have been sent into Bahrain now and some say this will only make things worse. Anyway, all we can do is wait and hope it gets sorted soon.... so no trips to Bahrain for me for a while, plus they keep closing the causeway....

Its been a bit of a strange few weeks - what with moving house and then I had an awful cold - I have hardly done any exercise nor have I really had time. The house is pretty much now in order - just need some blinds putting up and also some yard furniture which I am fetching tonight. So not taken me long. I have had some issues with the a/c noise - although having a celing fan put in has sorted that out.

PAWS has been keeping me on my toes as ever and I am now in the throws of organising a 20 year anniversary black tie event for May! That will be my last event for a while - I am having a break then for the summer. I was over in Bahrain last weekend for my friend's 40th - Louise - here we are - what a wonderful cake too!!!

So, thats about it really - as I said, things are a bit weird here really with the stuff thats going on so we are just taking each day as it comes. I did do a PAWS garage sale - the day after I moved - full of cold - it was good fun - I was only going for an hour or so and ended up working 8 hours there instead. We made about 400 quid in donations though. Other than that I have been busy moving in and trying to find space for stuff! I was due to go to Bahrain this weekend, but obviously had to knock that on the head as most folk are on lock down so cannot really go out. There are tanks and army vehicles all over too. So just going to the US consulate now.

Anyway, thats all for now. Will keep you posted on events....
