Well August is now upon us and the heat is regularly 54C+!! The swimming pool is not quite so easy to cool off in as it is like a hot bath (40C+!!) So during the heat the air cons whir away day and night trying their best to cool us down!!

We all find ourselves dreaming of rain or even snow... just to be cooler would be nice.

We recently visited the nearby Bahrain Fort which is a National Heritage Site it was amazing but we had to cut short our visit due to the heat...we felt like we were dying!!! We plan to go back maybe one evening hopefully it will be better but also for photos which i promise to post on the blog!!

Also sadly we had news of one of our cats Dixie (see photo) who got injured and later died from her injuries. We do not know exactly what happened to her whether it was a car or another animal in the garden. Jokingly it was suggested it was the remaining cat Foxy who had something to do with it as the were always fighting with each other you never know!!?? Anyway i know she will certainly be missed by us all particularly Luc.
