The end is near

New adventures start tomorrow. We got the word that we’re out of here. Gone by lunchtime tomorrow. A quarter of a year is a long time in a hotel, I’m sure we could of coped with longer if we had to. We told Mazen and Susan a couple of the staff today as we found out at lunchtime. They were a little upset. I was thinking about that and they must meet lots of people who spend very short periods of time here. We are different as we have got to know them really well over a long period of time. I know about some of their families, their circumstances for being here in Qatar, there work conditions, their lives. Dimuth has been getting into trouble a little as he enjoys our company so much he gravitates to our table and likes to joke with us. Mazen has given him a very sharp words and reminding him that there are other people in the restaurant. We have our special table that is reserved for us. They had blocked off the end of restaurant for a gymnastics group. Our table sits in this area. It doesn’t matter that let us rock up to our special place. Moving gives me a chance to write about a new set of experiences. I have had some wonderful times here which I will remember but have also spent a bit of time hanging out in Al Hitmi. If my experiences are like they have already been then it will be a place to look forward to.
