This is just creepy

So I've got these guys banging my wall...

About an hour ago three strange men decided to knock on my door and are presently chizelling half of my apartment wall away... hmmmm maybe this is a serial offending thing... maybe I should do something about it.... but they seem so industrious... hmmm

I just realised I wear Load Bearing Pillars HA!

Go to http://nonadventures.com/ Tony decided to share this with me this morning:) Just click on the image and it should become bigger.

Smokin'

So I met up with Aisha Kamal and Maha the other weekend and decided to cart them out with Mersedeh and Peds for Shisha. Here's Tony and Mersedeh kickin back in the haze

Rain and Thunder and TV and a Wii

Well

Happy Easter to everyone out there and many chocolate bunnies to you all. I know I'm a day late but no one tells you its easter here and its easy not to remember!

There was a huge rain and thunder storm last night here which was lovely and there's puddles everywhere out and about. I'm sitting here waiting for a bookcase to be delivered (will be coming any time in the next 10 hours knowing these guys) that I picked up in what I'm going to call the 'credit crisis sale spectacular' because almost everywhere is having 'special sales' at the moment.

So for the fun news. Tony and I might be on TV this coming week. Well its local Bahraini TV on a special program about Bahrain expats. A friend of our is the feature and we're going along for the ride. So I'll have to post how that goes later.

We also just got ourselves a wii for Easter and have been having fun with it ever since. I like the boxing myself as it means I can clock Tony a few times if he drives me mental.

I'd write more but its 6 something in the morning and I think I'll be sneaky and go back to bed for an hour before the delivery guys get here.

Where's the potatoes?

So its been a pretty interesting few weeks of not much. I've just come off of a 7 day Neuro-linguistic Training programming course which is essentially a problem solving method that is very congruent with the hypnotherapy/psychotherapy I've been practicing. It was a hell of a lot of fun and it was fascinating to see who turned up. There was a Brigadeer General from the Bahraini military, Medical People, A Kickboxing Instructor and Entrepreneur and a bunch of therapists all running around like headless chooks. I wish I'd taken some photos...but if you go to the instructor Phillip's website

www.NLPNOW.com

you might see something in the near future.

There was a horrific thunder and rain storm that came in from inland Saudi Arabia about two nights ago that saw the whole of the Abqaiq Camp (about four hours from RT) flattened. We just got all the rain which dumped all the dust out of the air onto my windows so that I can hardly see out at the moment. Hopefully the guys at building maintenance will do a window wash soon but I'm not holding out any hopes because there's more Shamal due in later this month.

Its going to be a pretty full on weekend this weekend as we've got friends Reina and Eric coming over the causeway to catch up for a few hours before their flight to Istanbul and then we're headed off to dinner over the other side of Bahrain at another friends house. She lives near a pretty surly Shea are so hopefully we don't see too many burning tyres and protests.

Oh! I ask you, how do they get all the bloody tyres? Do mum and dad take the kids out on an outing replete with full packed picnic and thermos of tea down to the south to pick them up? One really has to wonder...

Come Friday afternoon dad declares that he's taking the kids out to make a bonfire... in the middle of the road... and while he's at it is it ok if mum sews up an effigy because it'd look bad for the kids at school if they didn't have one... GAH the logic to these things!

For all the look of the thing, I've not heard of much more happening than a bunch of people standing embarrassed around a black smoking mass wondering who bought the potatoes in aluminium foil for roasting.

Anyways I've got some work to do reformatting someone's website so off to work for me.
