Christmas in the Middle East

Well, another week gone and Christmas is fast approaching. We have been told that we will have Christmas day and New Years day off, so that's a bonus! The Camp is getting into the Christmas spirit, by putting up a small Christmas tree in the middle of the mess hall. A lot of people are lucky enough to be going home for the festive season, but myself and a few others will not be enjoying a white Christmas; unless there is some freak of nature snow storm out here. Yeah right! Anyway, I will not be seeing any cold weather until 6th Jan 2011 (unless I watch Sky news, in my room). Day off Friday, so I will be in the gym as usual, and after that I will start planning what jobs I need to get done in my house, when I get home in January. My goal is to get the bathroom tiled, during my two weeks off. But a bit of prep work first, like removing the old plumbing, sink and toilet. I have been keeping myself quite busy this week, with some SQL and windows scripting for database backups and DSA analysys. Right, time to put my feet up and check out the latest movies, online. Bye for now.
