the end of the blog - well this one anyway
Hello all you interepid desktop travellers
I am now in my new office in Doha, Qatar! I got here yesterday evening and am in the office on Saturday....again.
Having just spent 2 weeks in old blighty I seem to have de-acclimatised and am sweating like a geordie doing a maths test yet again.
A quick whistle stop tour of my two weeks in the UK:
Friday 29th July: go home and asked Laura to marry me and she said yes
Monday 1st August: met up with Mum, Dad and Emma (sis) and her chap to celebrate the parents 35th Wedding Anniversary - stayed at Kings College overnight - very nice too
Tuesday 2nd August: chill out day with Emma
Wednesday 3rd August: took Ellie and Harry to Gym and played Tennis, Cricket, Basketball, Wall Climbing and swimming. Then back home to do a bit of work on holiday! Also dropped Laura off at work and picked her up and the evening we went for a meal with Laura's Mum and Dad, sister and kids.
Thursday 4th: dropped Laura off, picked kids up, gym for the same again and then home to do more work and then picked Laura up and then chilled out because Laura had come down with a dreadful cold and stomach bug etc...
Friday 5th: Luckily Laura had day off so we both took Ellie and Harry to the gym and then in the evening I went over to see Nathan and Lorraine and Ella bella
Saturday 6th: Picked up ring from Cellini's on Rose Crescent which had to be resized to fit Laura inordinately small fingers!!!!! AND CELLINI ARE CRAP - THE DAMADGED THE RING - DO NOT GO THERE AND TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW HOW CRAP THEY ARE PLEASE......then onto London for a meal in Covent Garden followed by a viewing of the Lion King which is increadible....go and see it...trust me you will love it
Sunday 7th: visited Dave, Julie and Daisy on their wedding anniversary and then home to chill
Monday 8th: full on house clearance and garage sort and stack. Laura came home to find the house quite allot emptier - the whole process of moving out here became a little more real for her at this point. Then over to Andy and Anna's for a wee drink.
Tuesday 9th: Another full on day of sorting - mostly paperwork etc but also built a base for a shed and some other bits and bobs to set the house up properly. Most importantly we got registered for marriage in the morning....the future Mrs Quig
Wednesday 10th: Laura had a day off and we met with a wedding co-ordinator at the chosen venue and paid our depositry....errr... deposit. Shed delivered and erected and began the final sort, stack and pack.
Thursday 11th: Laura worked the morning and I cracked on with packing which ended up taking all day. Left home at 7pm and got to parents for 8ish......a nice meal and a drink and off to bed for 10.30 ish and then....
Friday 12th: up at 5am - leaving at 6am...farewell to Laura.....off to Gatwick with Dad. Check in, 56kg excess baggage.......996 uk sterling later.....luckily covered by my company......through passport control.....rammed with people as it is the day after the Heathrow strikes.....baording time quoated as 9.45am.....10am and no gate number.....start getting concerned and then......gate 19......boarded.......4 seats to me......sat on runway waiting for slot for 45mins......6hrs10mins flight and then 2 hours waiting for baggage with 1,000,000 indians who has just arrived from Bombay!!!!!! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Nick (the boss) then turned up an hour late at the airport and finally got to his villa at about 10pm exhausted.
