NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

I'm Back!!!

At last, after a delay of some 32 and a half hours, I arrived back in Dear Old Blighty in the early hours of this morning (Sunday). Feeling a little jaded at the moment but it's really good to be back.

Will I miss Qatar, probably not, but as Frank said in his response to my last post, the smoothies at the Green Bean Cafe were to die for, and their coffee was quite good as well. Unfortunately, the current exchange rate made everything really expensive. Great training opportunities, though, if your job allows you the time to take advantage of them.

2 weeks of leave now and then off to a new challenge in a new job in a new rank. Look forward to catching up with you all soon.
