Yep been here as always. The little'un has had a good summer, the only problem being the street has been quite deserted of children! now that everybody is back they are all out on their bikes again. lovely weather, nice quiet times, movies etc.
Give it a couple of weeks and the traffic will be manic at 7am....

If I want to see friends, they tend to come over in the cooler months, I have 8 of them arriving next month :-D

Re: Who has been here all summer?
Odd summer for my family, lots of time together, owing to the timing of the UK school hols and Ramadan. We managed 1 week in the UK, followed by 2 weeks in Spain, followed by 3 weeks in Doha, followed by two weeks in the UK.
Now I'm back working in Doha on my own, UK flight already booked for the next Eid. 7 weeks and counting down...

Re: Who has been here all summer?
We have been here all summer. I wouldn't dare leave my husband here, he'd live on beer and takeaways all summer and I'd come back to Homer Simpson. I don't worry about him sleeping around, though - he's far too tight to pay for it. That is something I do not have to worry about.
The mrs panics about exactly that - I found a donner kebab place downstairs to give me an alternate to Subway, Bobs F&C and Pizzawrap.Apart from the two week hols, I've been here all summer.
The Mrs went home for 3 weeks and it sucked because I'd rather see her than not but was also great to play more golf, have more boys time and shit with the bathroom door open.
