Our week at work was fine. Jacqui and other grade 4 teachers and students went out to visit the Royal Omani Police, where they displayed how the sniffing dogs help them in various situations. Students and teachers found it pretty cool. Speaking of cool, we turned on the AC this week. Ya, it is warm already (daytime high in the low 30's for now, night time in the low 20's)
Jacqui and I went out for Valentine's dinner on Thursday night. We went to the Hyatt hotel, where they have a rooftop restaurant and a menu that includes your selection from the menu plus soup, salad bar, dessert and all you can (or want to) drink. It is pricey but still a good deal if you make an evening out of it, which we did. It was quite enjoyable. We hit the gym Friday morning than went for lunch and came back to the Crowne Plaza to spend the rest of the afternoon by the pool. At night, we ventured off to the Radisson Blu Hotel, for Oman Comedy Central. They had four stand-up comics, including one from Regina, Sask. So we had to go see that. We had gone earlier in the afternoon to find out the time and location of the event in the hotel, but the receptionist didn't have a clue what we were talking about. Sadly enough, that was probably the funniest moment of the whole thing! The show is happening in their hotel, and she doesn't where or when. One of the four guys was pretty good, but we had seen him before. The other three, including our canadian dude, were just OK. But still, it was nice to talk to him after the show, like, you know, eh!
Saturday was too quiet. Jacqui was not feeling well so we did our little shopping in the morning (liquids and groceries) and relaxed the rest of the day. She will take Sunday off to rest up and get rid of this cold that's been hanging around for a bit.
