Winter Cut Backs

Not financial, for a change. The council has been through town pruning trees. All look dramatic, but keeps them from growing too fast in this climate. We are out for a walk along the beach, and yes the sky is clear and there are still sunbathers on the sand, wonderful. Winter Cut Backs

Busy day at work Ray?

We had to stop by the local media store and you can see what Ray wants for the office. Not.Busy day at work Ray?

Well you all knew it was only a matter of time...thanks to Alan for the phone, he got the 3G version. I have been playing with this one all evening and am now blogging direct from phone!

Busy !

Yes it has been ages since we last posted, so sorry if you have been checking back here recently.  We have had a lot going on.. our shipment arrived from Beirut, the new business has been taking a lot of time, and we've been making the most of the great weather we have here... off out for the day now, but will post some more tonight.  Cheers.

Hello again . . .

ok so its been a little while and there are updates coming, we promise, in the meantime you can see what we got up to in Valencia last recently when we made a weekend out of our trip there to see Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour.

The gallery is here. Enjoy

We took a few video clips, and if you dig through youtube enough, you'll get to see the whole concert from all the different people with the camera phones.. alfredo was dancing around for the second clip, you'll see why when you play it Madonnavalenciaticket


Two years and six months

That was the length of our stay in Lebanon.

We will be back in October and Graeme also be making further return visits due to work commitments. We had some real fun here, we also have the kind of anecdotes neither of us ever expected to encounter, let alone experience personally.

We made more friends, and although we were able to catch up with almost every one this week, we look forward to seeing them again when we return AND to seeing them in Spain at some point very soon.

Ever onward and upward. Yalla!

Another fantastic weekend

Thanks to Mary & Marj for Saturday evening at Monk's. Thanks also to Daryl and Tina for a lovely Sunday in the pool with a great barbecue.

Just to remind everyone

I am updating my gallery here regularly with new pics and new galleries.

Hot In The City

So we are back in Beirut for 10 days to see our friends and pack up the flat. In all likelihood Graeme will be back within 2 months on business, both old and new, so it's not the final time by a long shot :)

I am amazed at the weather here. I haven't seen any blue sky yet as there is terrible pollution and crappy low cloud. Add that to the high temperatures and even higher humidity it's more like Hong Kong than Lebanon.

Still we both had good days, and sociable lunches, yesterday. Our schedule is almost full already with dinners, drinks, lunches and even a pool party tomorrow which will be great fun.

This flat is HOOJ. Despite the heat I am enjoying the space and 'luxuriating' in all our little knick-knacks, books and pictures. The flat is Spain is going to be full but at least it will be full of 'us' :)

Happy Birthday to us!

Thanks to Alan and Patxi for a lovely night, last night, at Cafe de la Plate, to celebrate both our birthdays.

We had said no cards or presents but this desert organised by Alan was very much appreciated.Cafedelaplatecake

Unexpected guests

Last week we had guests in the form of Amanda, Michael, Elaine and baby Kaia. Completely unplanned but we had a great time and enjoyed catching up on Hong Kong gossip.
