Round Two.....

I started my summer with a visit to France....Lovely!!!

After this nice little break I spent the rest of my time running around visiting friends, family and anyone else I hadn't seen since my departure...It was fun, lots of catching up and story swapping...It's amazing how many things go on in just a few months!! But anyway, here is a brief run down of what I've been up to!!

There was a big send off, but alas I didn't take any photos, but suffice to say it made me happy, so I'll leave you with this one....

There were nights on the town...

And there was a blinding Sunday Dinner - Thanks LEW!!

It was fun...

I came, I drank, I recovered...

And I headed back to Kuwait a happy camper...

I headed back to Kuwait for my second year teaching after a busy summer...The school has expanded so it was a busy time...Classrooms to prepare, teachers to get on flights, always the joy of paperwork to complete! Staff handbooks to prepare etc... But the importantthing is that most of it got done!! I'm here, along with a lovely group of newcomers for a whole new batch of adventures!!! Work has started, children are in school (in their hundreds) and weve all survived the challenge of Ramadan and flu season - why do those two things always arrive together I wonder??? I'm back in the flat with my girls, and we're still getting up to our old tricks....I'll post more details of those at a later date!! This is just a quick low down of the basics....

Of course I am still on the hunt for a husband...Joking Dad, this is Mr Terry, he teaches Drama and helps us organise all of the 'fun' at school!!!

Girgian came along...This is a traditional day linked somehow to Ramadan...Don't really know the particulars except that it is somehow similar to Halloween in that children give and are given lots and LOTS of sweets and chocolates!! We all dress up in traditional clothes and enjoy Drama, music, dancing and generally just a lovely day. So I thought it'd be a nice opportunity to show you some of the new gang...

So all in all, a good start to the year!!! A new contract, a new language, lots of new people.....And of course Girgian, which means LOTS of sweets and chocolates!! Who wouldn't be happy with that eh??!!!! So until next time....

Massalama for now!!!!
