An imitation design Sergio Pininfarina would have been proud of.

Making space for my future new wardrobe of clothes...

The landscape of Doha!

Turkish barber or barber for turkey's?

No more underground parking for me thank you.

Apparently the new shopping centre was testing their fire alarm but I didn't hear anything and no-one appeared to know what was going on or how we could get to our cars. Escalators and lifts had been shut down. Eventually they took out the escalator control box and did an over-ride of the system. Once underground lights and sirens were going off but I was out of there in 10 seconds, no one official there to say what was going on! A typical situation here in the gulf!

Erin following in Mommy's footsteps.......watching tennis!

An explosion of colour, an experiment in the kitchen

Panning with my point and shoot camera, thought it couldn't be done!

They start young here, all that's missing is a Land Cruiser!

Our lives in Doha, cartoon style, dictated by Owen

Luminous is in!

This is not my photo but it was in the news on the same day I saw it so I downloaded the photo for a moment out of my day. The price tag for this Mercedes SLS AMG is no less than 168,425 Pounds!

Count down calendar until our 7 week break

Feeling hot, hot, hot!

Dinner at Al Tarwash!

Up early and off to PEC to have Owen checked out ......... an ear infection!

Off to a Qatari Wedding

Photo is horrible but the only one I had of the night seeing as our phones had to be handed in at the door!

40 degrees Celcius and dressed for the Arctic

Erin is a little person who knows what she wants. There was no way to convince her that she would be a tad uncomfortable wearing a woollen hat, scarf, gloves and slippers on her ride around the compound.

Colourful creations

Out and about

The naked slide rider!

Erin was given a slide by a family that is leaving Doha. She was so excited, stripped and was ready to go.

Pool time!

A lovely time with Jo, Rob and the kids followed by supper and rugby!

Getting active after dinner.

So the dishwasher broke...........

Owen at his compound connection's 8th birthday party.

A fire at The Pearl

Child carseats not required!

The kind of thing that boils my blood, children not in carseats. The driver was strapped in. Only thing to protect the child is a little yellow sign.

I get to spend every day with my beautiful family. How blessed am I!

A new hairstyle

A successful cooking day

A success in the kitchen today. Vegetable lasagne followed by Rocky Road. Yum Yum
