Hope all have had a great weekend??!!

I had a good one in Dubai, caught up with lots of friends, got quite wasted shall we say & was actually pleased to be coming back to Doha, does feel my home now, came in this eve!!

Still feeling a bit rough as didn't get to bed until 6.30am this morning, had met friends in a bar at 6pm the previous day so was quite a long one....lol ;-)

What about you, a planned or spontaneous weekend?!

the place is mostly crowded every day. but if you go around 6pm and then later 9pm you might get a lane at the same time. else you have to wait for your turn. prefered days we QLers mostly go on monday night.

I had a nice weekend here, nothing out of the usual actually, every day to me is a weekend, nights on Ql, sleep in the day time, evenings out with friends different place different day, practice for SATS and sheeshas at night lol.

This weekend was just a little Irish harp and sheesha on thursday, friday went to fudruckers and sheesha and today went for a walk at aspire and villagio for once in my life time lol. But have a busy week ahead... lets see how that goes.

This time we were lucky AGAIN, I guess. Novita, the driver sorted out the insurance, etc. as we rely upon taxis for the moment. So far, my husband was almost run down by a lorry that didn't give him space, then our family was almost wiped out crossing the carpark in City Centre by a kamikazi driver, and we were almost crushed by a car that hurtled out of control along side us (saved by fate?). We must have some guardian angels. Brunch was great, I must add...:-)

Sounds like you were reasonably lucky, being rear-ended is one of my worst fears when driving having been hit so hard years ago in the UK that my shoulder required surgery (now full of screws..), that was from the seat-belt....! Still wear one, whether in the front or back, but at lights etc I've always got a weather eye on that rear-view mirror, just in case.....

Novita, hell I called into my office in Dubai this morning...! True! I think I smelt like a brewery though lol...

Though fully admit I'm not looking forward to hearing that bloody alarm clock going off...
