Today was my last day in Abu Dhabi, filled with regret somewhat about what I am leaving behind, to be honest I had only started to settle into a routine here! Although I am glad that I don't have to work for that company any more! Arranged my last game of volleyball today at 2am when I got in form PJ's as Diane had been pestering me to arrange it all day and I finally gave in! She told me she was going running in the morning, I didn't believe she would wake up but she did so we went running together. Walking back I noticed she was holding her back, our conversation went something along the line of this.
I said "It must be the way you run, it be causing the pain in your back."
Diane replied "what do you mean?"
me "You run funny and seem to make a lot of noise"
Diane "What, What do you mean, I am heavy footed"
me "You don't seem to run properly, I don't think it's because your heavy footed, "
Diane "You are telling me this now, after all this time we been running together!"
me "Well I didn't want to offend you"
I proceded to show her how to run, but seriously I thought people knew how to run, when people tell me they don't know how to run I take them a bit more seriously in the future! Bascially strike with the ball of the toes to absorb the impact and then land with the heel!
Spent the rest of the day tidying and went off for dinner at Hanoi for the last time, by myself.
Ran again in the afternoon to the volleyball and it was a good turnout. Sixteen people turned up!
