Another busy week! After the gym on Sunday, Dad and I decided to go out for lunch. I wanted to look at some dresses at the Dubai Mall – I was having my birthday drinks on Friday and wanted to look around. He wanted to look at electronics. So we decided to have lunch at …
I had another busy week and a whole lot of work to do. I managed to fit in a few gym and yoga sessions too… I met a friend for coffee on Sunday afternoon. We went to The Brass at the new Citywalk extension. We sat outdoors – but we didn’t find the chairs particularly …
I had a really hectic week and struggled to find time to get any work done! I managed to squeeze in a lot of exercise, but not a whole lot of work. After my yoga class on Sunday evening, my parents picked me up from Village Mall and we went to Markette at Box Park …
I woke up on Sunday feeling awful. I’d been out the night before and had way too much champagne! Any plans I’d had of going to the gym in the morning (or even getting ready) went out the window as I got out of bed at 1pm. I spent the day in my pajamas. It …
After going to the gym on Sunday morning, I decided to take the rest of the day off. I’d done quite a bit of work over the weekend and felt like switching off for a while. I had a facial at Dermalogica in the Dubai Mall (I’d booked it the previous week). I’ve been going …

I don’t know where the time goes and I don’t know how I got to be a month behind writing my blog! I had Arabic every morning from Sunday to Wednesday – it was exhausting but we learned a lot (as usual). We covered: More directions – north, south, east, west, above, below, tunnel, in …
After my session with Randy on Sunday morning, my parents and I went to Wafi Gourmet for lunch. My cousin from New York had arrived the day before and was staying with us. Wafi Gourmet is usually the first place most people in my family want to go when they get to Dubai! We had …
What a crazy busy week! I had a couple of doctor appointments on Sunday afternoon but apart from that it was quiet. On Monday evening I went to see the Dubai Chamber Orchestra at The Fridge in Alserkal Avenue. I didn’t even know Dubai had a chamber orchestra. I didn’t know any of the music, …
What a busy week! I was home most of Sunday but had dinner at Caramel with my sister and a friend who now lives in Nairobi. I really enjoy the food at Caramel but always forget how dark the place really is. I know I’ve said that before – but it do…
