Half way....

Only 3 more days to go.

Training went well today - a good group. Picked things up quickly, and we covered everything I wanted to - even after going out for lunch. I was invited by one of the atteendees - Ibrahim. He wanted to take me for some traditional Arabian food.

So we went to a restaurant, and had Beef Kabsa and Chicken Mathlutha. Eaten sat on the floor and with fingers (well a bit - fork and spoon were used most of the time.) Both really nice - though I preferred the Mathlutha.

Ibrahim and me!
(Not the best picture, but it's better that the other one the waiter took!)

Once again, I had a really good chat with Ibrahim. During one of the breaks, I showed him where I lived using Google Maps. He was impressed by the amount of green - and seemed surprised that all the fields around Sleaford were privately owned, not goverment owned.

Also I had a nice talk with Imam (hope I've spelled that right), one of the ladies who work for Nouf, after the training had finished.

I'm pleased the work side is going well, as that is what I'm here for - but it's a real bonus to be soaking up all the backgound stuff as well.

So, shattered. (You can probably tell as this is a short entry!)

Early night I think.
