Welcome back to HM territory.
The weather here is very nice, and the sun is shining over Scotland, the land of Uncle Scotty!.
I hope I will see you in Heathrow T5.  |

| I shall look out for you. I hope that avatar is a good likeness. My problem though is that I am boycotting Heathrow and flying via Schiphol. |

what are the term dates for universities in KSA? Holidays? If I have to go I need to know! 
BTW I am a very feisty old lady: "When I am old, I shall wear purple and a red hat," kind of old lady. |

That's not to be sneezed at.  Thanks for the info. I could cope, especially if there are nice people to chat to on this site for support ( as there are of course!) |

Dear littleoldlady,
Chat you say? I will gladly chat with you tomorrow for a banana today. And don't worry I am not going to be a burdon on your back. Can you imagine 12 monkeys on your back?
I'm staying for the nine day break and volunteering for the summer pogramme also. My better half will be joining me in June so it will be bearable for me. A lot of my colleagues say that I will be better off than them because of this.
We will be a teaching team then getting the good old double income. That alone makes it bearable.
Regards
Cornelius |
