I wake up in the morning. I stumble out of bed

Today started gently and not too early.... 

Tooli had a volleyball match and we set off to the American International School of Qatar.

Heavens above   it was like.walking into High School Musical. Seriously. 'seniors lockers.  Freshman lockers .. sports athlete of the week ... Gym halls  swimming pools.  It was a thrill just to walk thru 

Tooli's team were playing in a semi final   it was amazing. I haven't watched either of.them.play volley in so long 

It was brilliant.  Go Doha Heat!  They won. They won!

Later in th afternoon after being washed and tidied we headed for brunch. And that is when things took a turn for the worst 

Endless daquiris: mohitos and Margueritas. And tex Mex food sufficient to burst out bellies.  We had to take an hour out before we could even think about mains and of course we had to drink more to.fill.in the time 

There had.been no one in the restaurant when we arrived and we had every member of staff on us  gradually the place filled up and the live band started who we adored.  To be honest we were so drunk we would have loved anything 


And that is where my evening ends.    I have no  further recollection of the day. 

So it must have been good
