For the Eid Al Fitr (celebration at end of Ramadan) long weekend - which is a total of four days off work - we went to London. On our first full day, we caught the tube to the Borough markets in the morning to pick up some of the delicious food for our week in London. It was fantastic - nothing like it in Doha so we made the most of it buying some yummy snacks for the week. In the afternoon, David caught the train to Twickenam to watch the rugby with Jobey and some of his mates from work. It was Jobey's new "home" team, the Harlequins, vs the Saracens. The Harlequins lost but is was a great sunny afternoon, kicked off with beers and "pig sandwiches" on the banks of the Thames at the Barmy Arms, then beers at the rugby. Meanwhile, Mon took the kids to the Princess Diana memorial playground in Hyde Park. That night, it was dinner in Putney with Jobey and Jho at a Tapas restaurant followed by more beer at the Bricklayers arms.
