Another desert, same construction




I was woken up at 6am by jackhammers outside my window. Some things never change in the Middle East!

So I have some pics of my night last night - the Dohaians are mad ;-) Went down to the rugby club and there was some sort of horse racing event going on. Not actual horse racing, apparently drinking games!

Anyway, obviously they had to dress up for these, so we got some shots of them! The others in the pic are Fergal (Richard's mate) and Richard, one of my housemates.

Everyone here is very friendly and it seems a lot more community minded than Dubai. Probably because it's a lot smaller! My landlord is excruciatingly painful. Possibly just because he's lonely, but his heart is in the right placer so we tolerate him ;-) He keeps 'popping in' because he's in he area, and then sits around for ages expecting us to entertain him!

I won't put up pics of the villa until my things arrive. It just looks a little sad and empty, and I don't want people feeling sorry for me ;-)

I miss my wonderful friends. All the time. But I am making new ones at a rapid rate, which is fun!

More next week, I promise.
