Going to do this blog backwards with the photos. Above is Joe - who has now left Kingdom for pastures new is now in Jeddah - we will certainly miss his fancy dress outfits! Also a birds eye view of the infamous JJ's bar that I speak so much of - looks just like any bar in the UK!!!
As you can see, Charlotte the cat is making herself well and truely at home. She does seem to think she is a dog at times and now fetches her bouncy ball in her mouth to you and drops it at your feet to throw it again!
Looking through my diary I have been pretty busy. We went ice skating the other week - there is a full size rink here in Khobar - was a good laugh and I did manage to pick it up again ok (I used to be an ice skater in my youth!). There were a few bruises sustained tho! Classes have continued to be busy and I have now started my personal training final module on line. The exam for that is 20th October I have just found out - then, I hope, I will be fully qualified - finally.
Athens was really good - we stayed just outside in an area called Glyfadda - we were opposite the sea (see pic of view) but the road was a bit like wacky races at times! Andy, our friend from Riyadh (and a Nottingham lad!) joined myself and Tracy. We had a few good nights out, did the sites and more in Athens and finished up in an Irish bar! Also visited Poros, an island around an hour away on hydrafoil - really pretty place - went to the beach and chilled at the bar!
I have been told this week that I can take some extra time in November to come home over the Hajj break so am flying back on the 1st November and am there til 14th November. So, if you want to catch up, let me know... I have a course in London (circuits) 9/10 Nov and thats about it so far. Be good to see some of you.
Still planning on escaping. I have had a few phone interviews, with a few more lined up. There is a Lawyers in Abu Dhabi who are interested in me also so I am hoping to have an interview in person with them soon. Everything just takes time over here though so all I can do is wait... I am over in Dubai and AD next weekend and have managed to line a few agency interviews up then also. Work is pretty quiet still - there is something happening - ie as in a shake up we think as there have been lots of closed door meetings of late, but nobody knows what is happening for sure as usual!
Anyway, I am excited to be home again - if I end up moving jobs soon then it could be a while until I am back again (ie next year).
Bye for now,
Jillxxxx
