Back in Qatar after 2 week break

Arrived back in Qatar last Saturday evening, 22-Jan-2011. Went to the Phoenix Bar (Joe Wegener's room) for a barbeque Sunday evening, with a few other Phoenix Bar members (basically, anybody who has donated some beer). There were a few mosquito's about, and one of them got me. I went to the site medical the next day, for some cream. They sent me to the Al-Madinah medical centre near the JK camp, just in case the swelling was not an insect bite. After three visits, the swelling had gone down, and I was given the all-clear. Kept busy at work this week, with a few issues to resolve. Went to the gym this morning, for a couple of hours. Off to lunch soon, and later this afternoon, another visit to the Phoenix bar, for a barbeque and beer, with the guys. Back to work tomorrow morning. This visit to Qatar (my fifth rotation) is for seven weeks, as there was always a four day period when neither myself, or serkan was on site. Our good friend Jeff Ng left site for good this week, back to the Uk for a couple of months break, before heading back to Australia for the foreseeable future. We wish him the best of luck.
