Dusty Doha

Well today in Doha is NOT worth writing about. It is hot and windy and dusty. We are having a dust/sand storm and it just gets everywhere. You can easily see the air you are breathing - which can't be a good thing. I can't go to the Dip Club because I would need dusting if I lay outside. Mind you a good sand blasting might be good for the complexion.

So I will write about last weekends Athletic Mete.


Every year in May they have the international circuit of Athletics and we get quite a few international stars. I have now been 4 times! The ladies high jump has been my favourite and the woman who won the gold in Bejing has been here each time.















I like this photo with the two very different amounts of clothing that you can see!


Anyhow its neat night out and good to see these events close up. We especially like all the little things you don't see on TV like the remote control car that delivers back the hammers from the hammer throw and the javelins etc.













Some of the officials and a lady from the press.

The lady below is a 100m runner from Bahrain. She was at teh Olympics too. She is a great role model
