Well it’s been a while since I last updated the blog and it
has been a very busy time with lots going on most of which I won’t bore you
with.
I have kept up my swimming and can now cover a couple
hundred yards without stopping because of cramp or tiredness and I must admit I
am feeling a little bit healthier although I have not noticed much difference
in my weight. Been watching what I eat
and have cut right down on my alcohol intake so will just have to keep going.
Tried to weigh myself today but think my scales are broke as it said 152 lbs
which is nowhere near accurate!! Anyway
been through the first week of school and have an interesting timetable which
includes teaching a year 8 class for the first time ever! Looking forward to
it, it will be both interesting and a challenge.
We had the rise of the new moon last week and it was a sight
to behold. I tried taking some pictures
with my new camera but still need more time to get used to it but here they are
anyway. It is an exceptional thing to
view from our roof top, with the rays of the moon shining over the mountain
peaks before its stately rise into the night sky. You really have to experience it to
understand the full beauty of it.

George was asked to organise a bit of a get together at the
Dolphin Village and it was a great success.
I didn’t stay long that night as I was feeling pretty ill (one of them
24hour bug things) so I only have a few pictures (but I managed to get a few
from George). https://picasaweb.google.com/Lezmcg54/September7201302
A week gone Thursday we had a Bar B Q on the roof for all
new staff and anybody who wanted to come along.
Was a great success and went on till late although I went to bed around
10.30 because I was knackered (too much exercise??).
The first week of school has been pretty good with very
little confusion this year although we have had to say goodbye to the head of
Maths as she needed to return to the UK for treatment. All the best Katherine, our thoughts are with
you x.
To seal the end of the first week a trip on a Dhow was
organised. We sailed from Bandar Al
Rowdha down the coast passing the Al Bustan Hotel, past Quantab and the Shangri-La , resort until we anchored is a
cove for snorkelling /swimming. Pictures
where not too good but I will ask around and put any good ones up soon.
And to finish off the weekend we had an impromptu Bar B Q on
Marjan Beach https://picasaweb.google.com/Lezmcg54/ImpromtuBarBQOnMarjanBeach
