Can you fry an egg in 47degrees?

This afternoon I was walking home and Stacy saw me, so picked me up. When we got to her house(just about next door) she had a little frying pan out in the sun.
She had a plan to see if the pan would be hot enough to cook the egg. She went and got an egg and broke it in the pan and....


Well it didn't quite work.. Oh well...

The Emir's cup 2009

Last night we went and watched the Emir's cup. Soccer. We arrived and had to wait a little bit of time while the marching band was cranking. After that Vanessa May the violinist came out and played... The government were trying to sell the 2022 football world cup to themselves....Fire dancers... fireworks, lazer lights... they were trying hard. The actual game was close... Final score 2 1 to al gharfa... Just a cup team... They even missed a penalty from our our end. Over all a very nice evening. Oh yeah go the chiefs if the super 14...

Spring Break.

We had a nice break. A couple more weeks traveling the world. We need to be careful with this so i wont write to much. We had a nice break on which Bex Petrie came and joined us. Petra was wonderful, Jesus' baptism sites,swimming in the dead sea, Jerash, the pyramids were cool. 3 unexpected hours of camel riding. All up we loved the trip and the break away from Doha.

Qatar Super Grand Prix

Well yesterday we went to another world class sports event.
This was quite an amazing evening. We saw an athlete just about break the world record. Some every fast 100m running. The mens 3000m flat was run at an amazing pace. They were running 7 laps right on 1 minute a lap. So 2:37m a km.... I thought i was doing well... just under 4 minutes... Oh well... We stayed till the end but didn't win a car a camera or a laptop. We tried hard though... A very nice night in the heat...

Marks Back into Hockey again

Well after my visit to the hockey turf over here, I got roped into a training... Wasn't too bad, they were a little unfit, my treadmill work came to great use... Then I also played a game... I played really well and was the only dude that played the whole game with a team of 18 players... I played centre half... It was kinda weird to jump in am be a play maker not having any idea of anybody's names... It worked well and I got to play against an Indian international player and with a South African international player. Either way I had fun and will be back to play next week... Mind you it is starting to get hot again... 34oC today....

When Jens goes away Mark plays.




We Jenny went to Bahrain for a netball tournament representing Qatar.
So i went out geocaching. It was really nice, I went to the very top of Qatar and there was a lot of old abandoned houses. I even got to see some carvings.
I was having a boomer of a time and managed to get 10 caches, until I managed to get a puncture in one of my tyres. I put the spare on but that was the end of the day for geocaching. While on the way home via the hockey turf that I had never been too, I met some guys that want me to play with their team so we shell see how it goes.
