Riding it out

Matt: Decide to have a bit of an adventure the other day and went Quad-Biking in the desert, in the dark!!! It was great fun, for some reason they presumed I could ride a motorbike and gave me a manual where as everyone else had an automatic, ok I stalled it a number of times and the screaming of the engine could be heard in Abu Dhabi at times, but I got used to it eventually!! Although I was hindered somewhat by my choice of chunky footwear - made it difficult to feel the clutch let alone change gear!! That being said I highly recommend trying it out, I think I would prefer to do it in daylight, but it did add an extra element to the thrill when you couldn't see what was coming.

I start me new job on Sunday, which is all pretty exciting! Can't wait to get stuck into it now, had a few meeting with the new team and they seem like a good bunch and they are all very enthusiastic about the projects we will be working on - so that is encouraging!

I have a guest coming out to stay from the UK toward the end of next week, so that'll be nice and take my mind of work in the evenings!! Remember you are all invited - anytime!!

Off out to Barasti now, hope you are all well.
