After a very busy few days, I was exhausted on Sunday. All I wanted to do was stay in bed but I had work to do. I had also booked a 90-minute hot stone massage at the Shangri-La Spa for later that afternoon. It was exactly what I needed and I couldn’t wait to get …
Another busy week! After my session with Trevor on Sunday morning, my sister, her husband and I took the kids to the Shangri-La pool. We’d wanted to do this for a while but V2 had been quite unwell and coughing so we thought we’d wait for him to get better. It was his first time …
What a busy week! I had a session with Trevor on Sunday morning. I still had a headache from my birthday drinks two days before! I was home in the afternoon and managed to get some work done – my mum and sister took the kids to Mirdif City Centre. That evening I went to …
I was working all of Sunday and didn’t leave the flat other than to go to the gym. It was my birthday on Monday so I spent most of the day with the family. I’ve had a ‘no work on my birthday’ policy for the last few years (I would even take the day off …
Compared to the week before and the week before that, it wasn’t too busy a week. I was working on Sunday and Monday. On Monday afternoon I had a massage at the Oberoi Spa – which was lovely, as usual! My sister arrived on Monday night with her two boys – V1 is 4.5 years …
Compared to the previous week, this week was much busier, at least from Tuesday onwards. I was home all of Sunday, apart from my session with Trevor. On Monday afternoon I had a massage at the Oberoi. I’d have liked to go to the pool beforehand but it was a windy, sandy day. The last …
What a busy week! I spent most of Sunday recovering from the wedding I’d been to over the weekend. That night I had dinner with some friends at Sho Cho. The weather hadn’t been great all day – there was still some sand flying around and it was really windy. We thought we’d decide whether …
In case you’re wondering – no, you haven’t missed several posts, I just haven’t written them yet! I figured I had to start somewhere so I thought I’d start with my most recent antics and work my way backwards (and forwards). I had a Sunday morning session with Trevor and then went to work. It …
I had Arabic every morning from Sunday to Tuesday and then I was done with my Beginners II course! We covered: More vocabulary A very confusing root tree which explains the relationship between nouns and verbs An oral presentation to the rest of the class about where you’re from, what you do in Dubai, where …
What a week! After my usual session with Randy on Sunday morning I met up with a friend for lunch. We thought we’d try Fuego, the new Mexican place at Souk Al Bahar. We got there a little after 2pm and apart from one other table, we were the only people in the restaurant. We …
