It’s been A while>>>>>>>

So it has been ages since I have written in my blog so I’ll brush over some stuff that’s happened and see if any memories come back while I’m writing.
So what’s been going on? Well I finished the instructor course and then chilled for a while. I went home for Christmas, which was cool. In fact it was very cool, around -6 degrees C for that matter. It was a bit strange really; I was looking forward to being cold for once. I got to see my Girlfriend Rach which was awesome, she was a little surprised to see me. I turned up un announce in a pub in leamington, stood at the bar and got my friend Tom to bring her over. When she stood next to me I turned around and said “hi”. The initial reaction was a punch and a few profanities but I’m pretty sure she was happy to see me.
Being back in England was good, I seemed to slip back into the routine very easily but I still felt like I was on holiday there. The main reason was that I didn’t have a job so just ended up hanging around all day.
Christmas was spent in the UK, along with new years and before I new it I was back on a plane on the way to Dahab. Its 21 degrees here and that’s all good for me. I’ve been put to work up our five star operation in the Le Meridien resort Dahab. Its all good, the sun is shinning and I’ve been wake boarding a couple times which I have found to be quite painful, but more fun than pain.
When I returned to Dahab I moved into the new Poseidon house, a five bedroom affair set in the Bedouin end of Dahab. It is a great place to live and the shower is ten times better than my old house, which to me is the most important thing. The only problem is that it is a half hour walk to work, so I invested in a bike, awesome. The bike has had a few problems, which I wont go into but lets just say I’ve got a good rapport with the man in the bike shop.
The next major event to hit the world of Simon is that my girlfriend Rach is coming out to stay for the duration of my little Egytian tour!! This is all good, finally we may actually spend some time together. She will not be travelling alone, the one and only Sniper Ched, a very good friend of mine, will be making his way here for a little fun in the sun…. Well that’s about it really, I still have not taught a course yet but that is top of the priority list. I will report back next time with news of the two new Dahab residents and hopefully news that I have been wake boarding again.

Note to self: learn how to wind surf.
