1088

Warm welcome to Heather and Kim
Well done to coach for the run. I enjoyed the view all the way round.
The day ended with Rock watching a wee deer running across the desert in front of the sun setting over the west coast of Qatar.
On On.

1087

Welcome Back Rebekah. Despite the heat, the weekend's dust, the 'flu epidemic, the departed Easter visitors we still number into the 30s, which is just the way we like it.
Not sure how much we really liked Meths testing run but we always appreciate our Hares' willingness to spend the time painting the desert for us to have our runs in the varied locations and scenes. Jess was worried about what might emerge from some of the large holes we passed, I was careful to check no hashers vanished or were abducted into one! Alas, all arrived back safely.

Dan Milne and Josh Clarke, as they used to be known, having 'qualifed' as regulars for some time now and been waiting patiently, finally got their names - and promptly wished they hadn't bothered...probably.

Desperate, Elvis, Daniel, Mashed Potato...? No. Arise Full Moon, for obvious resons.

Hairy, Grudge, Stig, Daddy Long Legs....No. Phone Home, E.T (Have you seen his fingers?).

Next week Ms Gardener, Soon Mr Dixon, Darren should we ever see him again, and then Penny, Dave G, Jess and Erik are all getting close. Our youngest hasher has been pretty regular for some time now too.

You wouldn't credit it, it's hard to find a spy these days! Unfortunately the fifth spy selected was mean and nasty and, Gary, when my ear infection gets better, vengence will be mine...or Stuart's or.....

And the sun went down, and the sea reminded us that life is beautiful and what better than easing into the evening with some good friends and a smile.

On On.

1085 WEEDZ BEENZ n Mo's Peas

A great crowd...over 30 hashers. Welcome Ceri and Riaz, Welcome Delia. Welcome Back Emma and all the rest!
The weather was kind, the location was as good for viewing as you can get (seas to the east, north and west).
Sea W took us this way and that, but no-one was not in. Klipe was out kliped by Rowdy John. The Coach had it in for some.
Splash.
We sang Happy 400th Hashday to Waldo K. Over a year of his life (or more than 1000 beers said he) spent On On in Dukhan. What more can one say.
