So pretty! "Put a bird on it!"

Nice drink of water.

First pick out of the kitchen garden

Joyce decided they needed to give each other a hug today.

Inside clothes line. Wet season coming.

Smell I thought I'd never smell in Juba - fresh cut grass! Cut with a knife, of course!

Another angle!

Can't have enough pics of this!

My cleaner found something else to fold!

Clean shelves

DH - see the Red Velvet bag!!!

Um, note to self, no more shoe shopping in Nairobi on R & R!

Thank God for the hooks the DH insisted would come in handy!

Decorating my room

What six months in Juba will do to ya!

Gumboot seasonHas arrived!

Socks for gumboots bought in Austria last Christmas

After a long week (oops, can't talk about work!) I hope this image brings a smile to others. I found it hilarious! Thanks for sharing, Phil!

It always seems to rain when I am in Nairobi. That ok. It is a nice contrast to Juba. Back to work tomorrow after my R&R.

Never stayed at Mbuni @ Karen Holiday Homes. Mbuni means ostrich.

I am to understand in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest chandelier in the world. At our weekend hotel which is the oldest in Doha - the Sheaton.

Another shot

It's sad when you can't change your name and have it stick!

Beautiful! Planning day at the beach for my last day tomorrow!

New view!

Love me some Qatar!

Potable? Well, I've been drinking it....

Checking out & going to other "weekend" hotel!

Same breakfast every morning. Delish! Love turkey bacon!!! Just add tea & water and you have the perfect breakfast!

Good performance. They had to do a bit of improv as the flutist was sick.

A needed taste of home!

From one of the best exhibits I've ever seen. Will post more on it later!

Yum!

Living a female Qatari lifestyle for the next week. As can't see the DH, I shall have to shop & go to the spa. Guess that is what R&R is all about. I'm in love with Qatar. What a beautiful country. Modest in it's wealth. Refreshing!
