Ramadan Mubarak

Yo Ho Ho,

Hello, sorry for the lack of blog I have been amazingly busy. Currently I am working 7.30 to 1.30, God bless the fasting.

We have reached the holy month of Ramadan and Bahrain is a bit strange. As the only thing to do in Bahrain is eat lots of nice food this fasting malarky makes life a bit dull. Tim and I spend most evenings watching America Plus and swimming in our glorious outdoor pool that we are still using in September because it is stil 40 degrees. My top tips for Amaerican shows tolook out for: Third Watch and Cold Case also Veronica Mars is quite funny...

We had a brilliant night out the other week in Rock Bottom Cafe and it looks like I shall be getting some use from the tit tops after all... Going out in Bahrain is rather favourable for all ladies, free drinks, preferential bar service, tounged by a Saudi (got to be worth a gold star Nar)

Am writing this at work so I cannot say half the things I want to, might have to go to internet cafe later...

All is well though...

Oh just thought I should describe the flat...

Sea views on one side, city views on the other, spacious with retro decor, outdoor swimming pool, gym, sauna and jacuzzi... We live at the top of the main road in Juffair which has a MegaMart (kinda like lidl) a starbucks, costa, chillis and Senor Pacos (The best Tex Mex on the island) and 2 carpet shops on... We are walk-able to Adliya where all the restraunts are and the Arabic coffee shops. In theory we can walk to the Souk although we have not tried that yet.

The Souk has a wonderful spice section that always makes me sneeze and a fabric section where most of the items are suitable only for pantomime dames! Tim regularly gets asked if he wants to buy a ghutha, the male head dress, and also, if he would like to sell me for a camel he keeps saying i'm worth two at least... (The old ones are the best!)

Mary and James are going to be the Bahrain types soon and we have been invited to an Eid celebration with a Plaestinian family although I think we might have to leave James at home for that one, political sensitivity not being his strong point...

CNN is fantastic by the way. Yesterday they re named Pakistan Al Qaeda-stan and commented on how the Western influence in Afghanistan has liberated the natives. Now they have prostitutes and porn! Apparently if your son is a smack addict you should quit telling him to give up for health reasons and tell him he is being un-patriotic and that the opium he buys harms the Allied forces in Afghanistan. God bless America

Really gotta go this time, will try and blog some more in private over the next few days...

Love you all...
