Alright, I know my readership is pretty limited but there are some folks out there who stop by from time to time so I thought I would throw this out there and see if there are any nibbles. A good friend of mine who works at KGL Transportation needs Americans to fill some open positions. [...]
Braving the fabric souk

So if you’ve lived here in Kuwait for more than 15 minutes you’ve probably run across someone who will tell you how easy (“cheap”) it is to have custom tailored clothes made here. For the most part that’s not an entirely inaccurate statement. That doesn’t mean that you can just wander around town and stumble [...]
Girlguiding District Sleepover – Day 2
Posted by Stewart in Anita-centric, Godwin life in Kuwait, World-o-Sydney on 27. Jan, 2012 | 1 Comment
So after dealing with the gate guards not letting in the delivery guys before 9AM everything else today went off without a hitch. Before we had arrived the girls had already finished the yard sale – Syd didn’t find anything that she couldn’t live without. When we rolled in just before noon there were tons [...]

Well folks it’s pretty late. The sleepover got off to a great start. The girls as bouncing around to the DJ fueled by Sprite and cookies so they should be a BLAST for the leaders tonight! Everything that had to be delivered tonight made it – and in fact everything was early which completely threw [...]

Tonight is the Guiding Sleepover in celebration of British Girlguides in Foreign Countries being 100 years old. Anita has been organizing it for the last couple of weeks in her capacity with FOG – not for nothing but catering dinner, snack, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and cake for 100+ girls is not exactly a cake [...]
Getting ready for the Girlguiding Centennial Celebration.
Posted by Stewart in Anita-centric, Godwin life in Kuwait on 25. Jan, 2012 | 0 Comments
Now this has been explained to me several times and has something to do with the differences between British Girlguiding and British Girlguiding in Foreign Countries but by my count this the third year we’ve had a centennial celebration. This year all the guides (Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, & Senior Section) are getting together for an [...]
The Water Cycle

Sydney’s class is studying weather in science and specifically this week – the water cycle. Their assignment was to make a poster that described the entire cycle. They had to label it using their vocab words then use the definitions on the poster too. Check out what my Sweetpea came up with. She sketched out [...]
Crazy local tricks…

This was in today’s paper – so it must be true. My favorite part would be that the cops called the father of the two girls who were FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY and he couldn’t be bothered to come get his two arrested children (one of which apparently IS A CHILD) because he was “busy.” So [...]
Sydney and her cats…

So ever since we moved into the Villa Al Godwin III there have been a clowder of neighborhood cats that have decided they live in front of our house. When we first moved in there were a couple. Since then momma has had two litters that we’ve seen and the number has grown substantially. Since the [...]
