DAY 16 (Friday 05 August 2011)

Today nothing exciting happened in work, it was mainly spent chasing people up to find out exactly what they required for transportation when they got back to the UK as part of my job is filling in the T&S Budget Approval forms and sending back to 4 Div for approval (this is allegedly my bread and butter most days in work). 

Woohoo, I have survived my first week in work.  I finished work earlier than normal, but not too early as we had another function to attend tonight, I shall tell you all about it when I get back in, that’s if I am not too tired as we are not due to finish until 2300hrs.

Charlie had an interesting day again today, he went to the Partners Club for a meeting and yet again he was given another KATA as a welcome with it being his first time in the Partners Club.

Right, that is me back from the function, it was another leaving do for my COS, by the time he leaves the country he will have had about 7 leaving functions, he has another one tomorrow, let’s hope it’s indoors as it’s due to rain again tomorrow as it has done tonight and it’s big fat rain. 

The function wasn’t bad, admittedly I didn’t stay long, I had what was supposed to be a double Jack Daniels and coke for my drink but looking at how much went into the glass, I can safely say I think it was a quadruple, (it didn’t go to waste).  There were little spicy snacks set out on the tables, before the main meal of the evening, and in good Gurkha fashion, it was a Curry.  I did put the meat on my plate but I really wasn’t sure as to what the meat was (and I wasn’t going to ask), I tried it, but the texture just didn’t seem right so I left it and ate just the rice and salad.

After the meal everyone was to go over to the basketball court where there was a marquee set up for the cultural show, but that is when I made my escape as I really couldn’t be bothered, only because it was going to be going on for an hour or so and I really had to get some shut eye as I was shattered, so with that, me and Charlie snuck off.

Right well I am off to bed as I have stupidly agreed to get up at 0500hrs on again (yes I am getting up at stupid o’clock on a Saturday) to go riding, this Charlie says he is going to come along too as he has got the use of Frances’s bike as she is now on leave and not needing to use her bike.  So, with that I shall bid you a good night.
