India vs Pakistan or Justin Bieber?

The community we live in has a very active facebook group, last night someone asked this question

Quick question.....I'm on street 5 and all I can hear this evening is what sounds like groups of girls screaming? Is Justin Bieber in town? Starting to get a bit annoying now!


answer?
 
Nope its the labour camp and apparently Indian has been playing Pakistan in the cricket and won! Great to hear them have some fun as their lives must be very lonely and not too many laughs or fun

Ooops

Sorry friends and family, Ive been AWOL.  Actually I've been to Australia and back and as I write this Bert is on his way to Winnipeg Canada for his Uncle Alberts memorial service. 

But the biggest reason I have not updated my blog is this العربية فارسی हिन्दी اردو

For some strange reason google keeps changing to Arabic and its very hard to log in and navigate my way around in Arabic.

We had a great time in Australia, I was there for three weeks, Bert two.  Unfortunately it was too short as we ran out of time to visit everyone we hoped to catch up with. We stayed with my sister Jan and her husband Allan and really enjoyed their hospitality.  It has been a long time since Ive had time to just sit and chat with my sister, so that was a huge bonus.

While we were home Paul entered the Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade.  He has been in their application process for just on two years and his was considered a very fast tracked application.  He loves it and we are incredibly proud of him. 

Other than that, there really is not much news. It felt strange to come "home" to Abu Dhabi and feel like we were heading home rather than Melbourne.

Unfortunately we were not able to get to Perth to see Jenni and Phil and the grandgirls but here is a new photo of them.  Ella, Heidi, Philipp and Amelie.
