19 - 25 Feb: Qatar interlude and "its the rules"

Thu - Felt much better this morning, with tummy settled down.  60 lengths before work.
Wed - 30 lengths with Stoker.  Lovely lunch at Zoe's, then took her to airport for flight back to Blighty.  Spin/Abs at Ritz in evening, but was still full up after lunch, felt burpey and a bit sickey so only did the spin (plus 20 mins row beforehand).
Tues - 30 lengths with Stoker.  Then we both went to Choir and onto Country Club for a meal afterward, joined by S & G.

Mon - 50 lengths with Stoker.  Then Diving AGM at Dilly - with usual small club politics just about under control!
Sun - Recovery Day from Qatar excesses!

Sat - Lovely start to day - clear sky and breeze.  Went to get dinghy out, but couldn't till 10am when Mr Dexter was to arrive "its the rules".  So in meantime went out on the dolphin watch and saw lots that played with us.  Out on Trimaran which was fun though wind started to die.  Lunch, packed and back to S&N where R&G came round for pizzas and final drinks.  Back to airport and to Bahrain by 10:30.
Fri - up at 7:30 to catch 9:30 flight to Qatar.  Met by S&N, then driven down to QP beach club where we camped, eat lunch, drank, swam, "braiied" (we were surrounded by SAs), talked, drank and staggered back to campbeds to sleep in the open air.  Almost like a Saudi desert trip.
