About Us

Doha, Qatar
Scorpions, 50-degree temperatures and sandstorms. But it's not all fun in the Middle East. Having been here 16 months we (or rather me, Rich) decided to keep a log of the hardships we have to endure.

We are so proud


Alex's 'graduation' from nursery class two to nursery class three.

Thankfully this momentous event didn't see him then going out and getting rat-arsed as is traditional at graduation.

The long winter nights fly by in the Harris household.

Material Girl



Madonna dropped in for a glass of Drostdy-Hof's finest claret yesterday.

There have been no threats of violence and therefore I am under no pressure to draw attention to Madonna's flat stomach and lean figure, despite having had a child.

We're not sure but it's probably illegal for Madonna to be using the traditional Arab headdress (the gutra) as a bra.

Swapped the Wiff for a camel. Doesn't get the hump so much and there's less spitting.

Boom boom.
