Another weekend looms and its a busy one ahead. I have guess what? Yep golf on Friday and golf on Saturday. Friday is a pairs competition and Saturday is an interesting match against Riffa Golf Club (thats the expensive one with the real grass!). It is 9 holes played at Awali on our desert course followed by 9 holes on the grass at Riffa (or the other way round, I'm note sure). All sounds like fun in the sun. We had to give in and put the air conditioning on for a wee while last night, just to cool the bedroom before bedtime. It wont be long before we need it on all the time again.
I am sure you'll all be wondering about the protests. They are apparently increasing in size and number but they are still good natured and peaceful. They'll have to sort it out soon because it will be far too hot to stand outside protesting soon. We went for a bit of shopping tonight past the site of one of todays demonstrations. There was nothing to be seen when we went past. That's the closest one there's been to us, just a couple of miles up the road beside our main supermarket. It was all finished by the time we got there. We are well stocked up with messages just in case but we are really not expecting any trouble.
No other news really, nothing exciting is happening. Maybe the golf will bring some spectacular news. We have started our wee rooftop garden again, does that qualify as news? The lettuce is coming along really well and the broccoli and tomatoes are thriving. We think we have them well covered this time so the pesky little varmints that ate the greenery the last time will hopefully be thwarted. If they can get through the mesh then they are indeed little varmints. I am not sure how we will protect the tomatoe plants once the get too tall for our wee creche. I suppose we'll need to improvise and invest in more mesh stuff if it continues to be a success.
OK, signing off now
