I don’t know what to say

It had to come – the moment when inspiration dried up !

I could do the inventory but I think all of you know that I am smoking a bit, drinking sometimes, spending money on falafels and laundry at a steady and sensible level, going to the gym around 5 – 6 times a week.  You know that the weather is generally very nice (with the occasional gloomy day or foggy start) and that the food is very nice (if a little repetitive) and that I started a photo of the day section which has tailed off as finding things to take pictures of, which aren’t desert or camels, becomes more difficult.

I have told you all a little bit about my role here (which certainly won’t keep you interested for more than a day or two).  I’ve taken you on exciting (and a little alcohol fuelled) trips to Abu Dhabi and to Dubai – and I’m not moving for at least 2 weekends so you better hope something interesting happens here at the Tilal Liwa (we have camel racing here for the next 3 weekends).  We’ve been motor racing, horse racing and we’re going camel racing, and we’ve been to concerts, lunch and shopping centres. We’ve stayed in at least 7 hotels and apartments and eaten in any number of restaurants, hotels and take-aways (falafels are still up amongst my favourite meals !)

Do you want to know about my calf strain, about my laundry or to see pictures of my lunch ?  More pictures of my walk to the falafel shop and of the town here.  Do you want me to discuss my co-workers (with their consent).  Does anyone want to hear about the situation in the Middle East from the UAE’s perspective and a little about the Government and the people here in the UAE ?  Would you like my opinion on hotels, who are supposedly 4 and 5*, using sachets of Nescafe in their rooms (it’s not a very long opinion if that’s any help………)

Anyway, I’ve managed to fill a page with pointless ramblings so it can’t all be bad and I look forward to hearing from you with a few pointed ideas and questions (because otherwise the next 4 months are going to prove very difficult……..).  I’m off for breakfast and then to work – TTFN.
