We are off to Paris....again

One finally agreed to come to Qatar once the Darling Husband (of model 5.5) stated; "but it is the gateway to Europe!" Naturally, that sold it to me (One can be rather shallow).

On Friday we board our flight (NOT an A380) to arrive in Paris some 6 hours later and battle with a Striken Paris to get to our rented apartment and avoid the big sights (where there is a current imminent terrorism threat), and then pound the streets with our "not for winter" footwear avoiding the current bitter rain and gales.  Yep, it is set to be a heck of a great holiday and Teagan has the whole trip planned; "I am taking my Dad to the Eiffel Tower, it is very big you know, and then we are going to the big church.  Oh, Mum, you don't need to come this time as you have already had a turn."

We planned this trip sometime ago and I have been getting a little nervy about all of the bad news coming at us.  I do so love being safe and secure here in Doha driving around on the roads (ha ha ha).

As to what we have been doing recently.  Well, no real changes.  Life has just continued on in its own merry way being an absolute joy everyday (apart from the normal little bits that make you appreciate the great stuff).  Our biggest bit of news is that it rained yesterday and I do mean rain.  Not like Asia rain but this was enough to fill the drainless streets and prevent One from leaving the house.  Even this morning was a mud bath driving the back road to school and the current condition of the car is true testament to the mud.

I shall leave now with my few photos and all good intentions to load up the blog as we survive Paris (subject to photos which are subject to an attachment for the iPad to allow the camera to connect).
