A general catch up post today... after being away in London, things got a bit busy on the work front but in other news:
The kids start school this week. The girls seem keen and excited but slightly nervous as well. Monday is orientation for 2hrs and Tuesday is the first full day. I will be taking Tuesday off work to see them off and to pick them up as well. Ramadan sees the school day being reduced to a 1:30pm pick up time as well, so they'll ease their way into it.
Also on Tuesday, our dog Zoe is to have an operation. They have found a tennis ball sized tumor attached to her spleen and they're going to operate on Tuesday. We have been monitoring her since we discovered the lump a while ago but she's gotten slower and a bit lethargic and we're having it taken out. Fingers crossed! Surgery is the easy bit, the recovery will be tough.
As an early Fathers Day present, I got myself (well Niki & the girls got for me after many hints) a new PlayStation 3. Got two free games in the box and I have to say highly impressed with the game "LittleBigPlanet". Its a great kids game and is also fun for adults. The other game is a very hard "save the world, shoot the aliens" game called "Resistance - Fall of Man". Its gory and violent so that only gets a play when the kids arent about. I am hoping that the good little cherubs will surprise me with a copy of Madden NFL 2010 on the weekend (hint hint).
Ramadan is going OK... I hardly notice it on site, not too big a deal. Weekends are lazy around the house and pool and we actually left the house to go to Dubai Mall on Friday night at 7pm and didnt get home until 12:40am! So tiring and odd to be out at such a late hour.
Also, finally, to my Dad, glad to skype you on the weekend... hope you're feeling OK and will call you on Monday.
