Yep I’m back! Back for another 110 days. At least another 110 blog entries. I know some of you have been missing your regular blog intake. A bit like coffee and ritalin, the days not quite the same without it. This will be a different experience for me as the role I have will see me working in new ways, slightly outside my area of expertise. Plus even though some things are the “same same” as last time ( and I’ll get to sharing some of those in a minute) there are also changes. While it has only been 8 weeks since I was last in Qatar in feels a lot longer.
The biggest change is that I’m here on my own this time not part a group. The GR5 are spread far and wide. Earlier in the week I had a quick nine holes with John and went back to John and Kays for dinner. And what a dinner it was! A wonderful slow roasted meat that I will not see for some time. I caught up with Damian’s blog to see how their trip went to Egypt. I’m the first of the kiwi’s in Al Hitmi. Repi and Deb left last week back to NZ. Phil, Ann and Graeme (different contract) will rock up over the next few days. As will Murph and Baza (Aussie Graeme and Barry who we met on our last adventure)
The next biggest change is the temperature. Lovely….I flew over in my jeans (my Tutti B’s of course Dam / John) and a long sleeve tee shirt. Walked out into 30 degrees at 8.30 in the morning. Went for a walk later out in the sun along C ring to catch a cab and didn’t get all hot and sweaty like when I was here 2 months ago. It also means my walk to the gym won’t have the same effect (could replace the walk with any cardio work I use to do as it was like a half hour work out in a sauna) so will have to get back on the rowing machine.
