As we get used to being in the Gulf again we start to notice more about the place, which I have to say is quite a pleasant country.As we are not great linguists we are very pleased 
to have the opportunity to speak Inglish rather than Arabic and head for spots like this usually. Having said that Alice was on the Corniche buying "just landed" fish yesterday morning. And she has noted that these very fresh items are considerably cheaper than those found

Other things of interest are the fauna of the area, and how they are moved around. Working in construction I see all sorts of things being lifted into the sky but not all animals are as patient as this. Of course, I tend to view
camels in a new light since reading Pyramids (Terry Pratchett) which I heartily recommend, as it will give you the odd chuckle.
Another thing of interest is the low cost of electronics and I am so pleased to see that in what seems to be an
increasingly difficult world the guarantee that whether you want to watch "the Ten Commandments" or something less epic the ability is built in to the machinery to allow you to see it without being turned into a fundamentalist.
Of course amongst all these interesting things we are still left with a hankering after a few things we have to forgo, hard for some-one who happens to be a pig farmer at home. But although I have searched I cannot find the right drink: -
