The Sun Is Out

It is a bit blowy outside today (Monday) but it is expected to get to 18, a lot warmer than we have had for a while.

Our dinner with most of the family at Malaysia Garden on Saturday was a great success.  As it turned out, Kim came down with a nasty bout of "Gastro" so we didn't see her at all.  We enjoyed our favorites and it was great to see the grandkids jump into the tasty Malaysian food we had ordered.

There was Char Koay Teow, Beef Rendang, Boneless Chicken Curry, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Fried Rice and heaps of coconut Rice as well.  The prawn crackers were OK too!

Then it was home to see the last bit of the footy with Trish's team pulling off a great come from behind win!

As Kate and the family are going to a very strong Muslim country, Kate has been advised she will need to choose her clothing she wears outside the KAUST Compound carefully, especially when in the city of Jeddah.  She purchased an "Abaya" dress just to be sure.  She modelled it for us Sunday morning.

It isn't the most flattering of piece of clothing.  They are now hearing that as long as she is fully covered from neck to tow she should be OK.  But you can't be too careful!

Arj has received a "New Arrivals Handbook" providing heaps of info about where they will be living.  It is a 1.36MB pdf document which you can download HERE.  There is some interesting reading there!

Sunday afternoon saw us head to Drouin to celebrate good friend Barry's 60th birthday.  They were neighbours of ours for many years and we have remained great friends ever since.  We were the last to leave! It was great fun catching up and enjoying a few drinks.
