St Patrick's Day

I am just getting round to writing about last weekend now!  On the Friday we were invited to a St Patrick's Day BBQ on the complex which was really good.  The guy who organised it is from Peterhead but he has a New York accent as he lived there most of his life.  When he first introduced himself as Scottish I was a bit dubious! lol.  It was nice to meet the neighbours and it's amazing the vast array of nationalities all working in Kuwait.  I think Laurence & I were the closest thing to Irish people there! We went along in the evening for some BBQ food - which was fab- and chat.  

The following day was a scorcher so we spent it sunbathing and swimming at the pool.  It was great, like being on holiday! There was a Filipino lady having a birthday lunch by the pool with her friends so we were invited to have more food with them and birthday cake yum! It's a nice, relaxed homely atmosphere as everyone is very hospitable.  

I am hoping the weather is as good this weekend so we can go back to the pool. It's been raining today though so hopefully it'll brighten (and heat) up.  Next weekend we're going to Dubai so looking forward to that!
