Slacko - catch up.
I know I have been sadly SLACK in keeping my blog up to date - sorry. I see the last post was October. So let me see if I can give you a quick catch up on the past few months.
November was tiring.
We had a lovely Eid in Nizwa and the kids were spoilt with some lovely gifts. I think the favourite being the little tikes car which I attempted to put together (BADLY) and luckily Ali was able to save it. In future I am not allowed near the tool kit!
Laith was in hospital for a week with a terrible virus that just made him so weak that within 4 hours of going to the doctor in the morning he was up in the hospital ward on a drip with a not so happy face! He was a true champ and once home he made a full recovery. Ali was fantastic as he would bring Lu up for her feed each day / night and did a great job keeping her entertained at home. Mind you it took her a week to forgive me when i got home again! LOL.
A friend from Oz, Chris Brady, and his lovely wife Mardie came to visit for a few days. Wow it was funny to be with someone you have not seen for maybe 15 years and it felt like not alot had changed. Ali and Chris got on well and are planning a trip to Yemen in the future. Go figure!
Also the end of November saw the first "fair" for Bubbas and Mummas to be displayed. It was the PDO International fair and all in all a success in terms of awareness. I teamed up with another Aussie mum here, Marnie (who sells shopping trolley covers), and we enjoyed ourselves if nothing else.
December. I had a booth at the Oman Womens Expo for 6 days. Phew I was shattered at the end of it all but again great exposure and awareness for B&M.
Then Judy came for a few days on her way to London, France, Italy (can you hear the envy !) and it was so wonderful to see her and have her stay. You are always welcome aunty Jude, laith just loves talking your ear off.
We had a lovely Christmas lunch with Judy here and 'Santa" did find his way to Laith and Lujayne.
Then we had the second Eid again out in Nizwa. It was nice to spend a few days with the family but yet again I am reminded how poor my Arabic is which is so slack considering I have been here for 5 and half years now.
So now we are in January and we hope that 2007 bring you all lots of love, laughter and happiness.
