I’m in Doha. This is the second time that I visit Qatar in the last year. 9 months ago Yasmine and I passed through Doha on our way to Malaysia for our honeymoon. Ok, so the first time wasn’t really a visit, but still, we spent a few hours looking around the airport.

That was during the summer and so I remember the insane heat that greeted us. This time the weather is better, except I’ve not really had a chance to see the city as I’ve been on site all days working on this project, the Qatar National Museum.

Also since arriving we’ve there’s been a pretty thick sandstorm which has hit the GCC states and I can’t see across the bay.

Trying to find the right opportunity to make things work is also something that I feel was a rough ride but I think this could be it. The work is incredibly interesting and I genuinely enjoyed sitting down with the various specialists last week in London to get the nitty gritty details of the plethora of services that I’ll be discussing in the coming weeks and months.

Through it all my wife has been supportive even though our patience with everything has been tested, my family have been a great help as well and obviously my friends have really been there for me as well.

Once I get a good look at the city, I’ll start posting pictures.
