Florence feels the pain .......work, temperature and sand!

Looking out my window in the early morning showed a hazy vista! Looks like the sand is back ! My housework is about swiping dust off things.... constantly... please do not get me wrong.... I am freed from housework ... or constant housework cos , well, I just dont have to do it!
The street taxis... just hail and they come
So when I went off to gym this morning it was cold, not Tassie cold but comparitively cold. Looking out across the water, towards the city this morning was really hazy as the cold wind blew across the place.....fortuitously I was condemned to marking 120 science inquiries this weekend so being inside is no issue.

Feels strange though as this is my first  full weekend working solid for a while- no Paris this weekend!

We had a great week- a four day weekend then the day after we came back, all the schools in Hawally were closed due to the GCC meeting-  a meeting designed to finding a road towards peace between Saudi, UAE and Qatar with Kuwait as the broker. You probably do not understand the situation here but Kuwait's position s such that its role as broker is  major  as it is between everything.
Unfortunatley Saudi and UAE rejected the hand, displaying a disrespect to this place and to Qatar. The issues here are highly complex and cannot be solved easily...
So  we went back to work for two days then had a weekend!

Hanging out for the holidays... has been a huge leap of faith and a huge change of life style..... some days it feels like i am back in boarding school!!!!
And tonight is cold!
In front of the gym.... waiting for my taxi
