Hi folks - here I am again - thank goodness I have a break this weekend - off to Abu Dhabi for a few days to stay with a friend and then on to Dubai to do my competent crew course which will allow me to sail on yachts!
The past few weeks have been busy - as usual - although work has been quiet. It seems to go mad at the start of the year then quieten down - I have been busy sorting out karaoke nights for PAWS though and also we have our 20th anniversary celebrations coming up in May - which has taken over my life somewhat...
I had a housewarming the other week - we managed to cram around 18 folk in my yard - it is great having an outside area and the weather is perfect at the moment...
The karaoke night at Jzala was great too the other week - in fact it was quite an easy night for me - I just took the money for entry which went to PAWS and gave out a few prizes to the singers - I believe it went on until the early hours!!!
Things in Bahrain have calmed down now - in fact I was over there last weekend visiting my friend Chrissie. There were still quite a lot of army around - especially around the Pearl round-a-bout (which has now been knocked down) but apart from that it was ok. I hear the army have been withdrawn now and things are slowly getting back to normal... Had a great time with Chrissie - she worked here at Aramco and moved to her new job the day before the protests kicked off! Her apartment is on Amwaj island - its lovely up there plus has a Waitrose (I spent a small fortune in there!!) - we went to Brazil for dinner - basically its good if you like meat - they come round with skewers of meat and you have a bit of each!! Lovely, though...
Been at the usual gym, not been teaching so much - getting a bit fed up with it really so having a break from classes for a few months and then starting again in July. Will be teaching on and off at the gym still though...
Got a great year to look forward to - its all holidays for me - Oman and Dubai for weekends in May, home in June and on my cruise with Tracy in July, August is Cyprus, September home again to do my personal training course and November is still up in the air yet!!!
Hope you are all ok,
Jill
