It's another Friday in Riyadh

Any one go and have a la di da brunch for $100?
It's obscene I know but I must confess I have succumbed twice myself when I discovered lobster was on the menu at the Four Seasons Hotel in Doha.

May I balance this by saying there have been times in my life when my family lived on pan cakes and cabbage soup...because a kilo of flour and a cabbage goes a long way.
Ok all you violin players..you can stop now!

seems every one is sleepin now

well , dnt know
i went out wth friends ,, had dinner at a nice lebanese resturantee , and it was not that expensive , i mean not a 200 $ loool

its also here , u can have ur meal for more than a 100$ or for a 10$ thing .. to tell u the truth , not much of things to do here for guys .. unless ur in a compnound and partying wth others ,, but im gettin old for this ,,

ya
i did some washing ,, dishes, clothes and other things

Well, I flew in Wednesday afternoon and have been into all kinds of weird sleep patterns since!

I spent the weekend cleaning (did you guys have a sand storm while I was away because there was dust all over my apt!!  it's not usually like this) and doing laundry and putting away things from the three suitcases I brought back with me haha

I was rather priding myself on how little I owned here in KSA but now I have a lot more, which makes me happy and sad, too.   Saudi, for me, is a place of contradictory feelings.

Hey been there on the cabbage soup and we had potatoe pancakes
on Fridays

Ah, Friday...

Just a bit of relaxing; a nap, maybe a movie or two and some time by the swimming pool.

we are having a quite weekend here with the rains and sandstorms lashing the city last evening.

Wow.. the city was lashed?  What time? I must have slept through it!

My Friday...Wow......I had plan to go for shopping for pair of Jeans but my massage therapist told me to avoid bath till tomorrow morning so there is no way i could go without a shower to malls....

SO indirectly what i m trying to say is,"I just had a very exotic and relaxing massage" hey girls lemme know if u want to i can give u her contact:D

wow.. tell meeeeeeeeee!!

Actually, I just had a manicure, pedicure, foot massage.

does she do over 60 males?

Nonz/Allie - Please provide the info on these establishments/individuals.  I would love to indulge! 

A small sand dune greeted me when I opened the bedroom door as I'd left the window open when I went to the Turkish Bazaar. So I spent this morning making sand castles.
I told the 'cleaner' that he didn't have to water the plants today as he was 1/2 way through. "Did you see the rain this morning" I asked him. "But I am paid to do this". LOL.

oh jillndave,u surely one funny guy,who loves to exaggerate

oh yeah she is professionally good and works at my medical center and free on Fridays,She had some Philippine Oil with her and she massaged from top to toe and it was marvelous and yeah she charged 200 ,which worth her effort on "ME" [u galz know well what exactly i mean]

Nonz, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times - I do not exaggerate.
Me, me, me, me, I'm next. I really desperate for a back massage. My shoulders are so tight it will probably take a meat tenderizer to sort them out.

jillndave, we can do one together with some supervision from the hens, if that will give us any value for the 200 bucks?

My shoulders are so tight it will probably take a meat tenderizer to sort them out.

hehehehe lmbao   ok ,why dont ya apply some raw papaya on it ,it will work


and yeah about this exaggeration part i m gonna believe ,only if pigs could fly 

that lady,she offers her services for females only...so u and musicman need to do some changes in your body if u r really looking forward to it

now now, isnt that blatant gender bias?

oh yes, it surely is





but unless  u guys r  the deprived one and we not



i m Fine with this

is it possible to come back to the original state?? if it is, tell me which hospital shud i head to for the changes

I'm not thinking thats a possibility!    But hey, look at all the fun you'll have! 

Hells teeth, I'm not going to suffer a waxing or anything else to get a massage. I guess I'll just have to live with the knots in my muscles and a little stiff in places.
And Nonz, about rubbing that Papaya on my back - there are places that I can not reach. Any suggestions?

Hehehehe i am genuinely laughing so hard 

Shahab:is it possible to come back to the original state?? if it is, tell me which hospital shud i head to for the changes

Oh gash!u r convinced to loose your Pride,just to get the massage ....ththththth

CAF:But hey, look at all the fun you'll have!

yeah CAF,they hav no idea what they have been missing

jillndave:And Nonz, about rubbing that Papaya on my back - there are places that I can not reach. blink Any suggestions?

Oh gash!!! first i need to have a nick name or u this one is difficult to remember for me   and yeah coming back to your back,so i believe,back is the only part of our body,where our hand usually may not reach,so i will send musicman to give extra hand,i  hope he does not mind

whose gonna help musicman with the places on his back that he cant reach then?

Musicman - Your WIFE! 

pint taken, no need to holler

My first Friday in Riyadh was spent at a Lobster Restaurant where I got reacquainted with my hubby (after 6 long weeks apart!) I also got to know a nice little lobster thermidor...not a bad intro to Riyadh I must say

Golden Lobster Restaurant in Olaya is the best place for the spineys. Its located behind AL FALAH Sports Shop on Olaya Street,

Last Friday we were collecting puzzle with my husb. 500 pieces.

Coz buying a new puzzle every Friday is a lil too much
