Lazy Saturday Afternoon

Had a late breakfast (Full English for a change) then back to the room to continue work (I know it's weekend but I get bored if I'm not doing something that someone might find useful).

Reports sent for review.

Worked through till 15:00 local time then down to Bunkers for a beer in the sun (think I'll skip lunch and enjoy dinner more).

I've never experienced anything quite like it. Such a dry heat that immediately you walk through the airlock, your eyes physically dry and refuse to glide around the sockets. Takes about 10 mins for the automatic adjustment to take effect.

Back to work (full-time) in the morning.

Why work weekends?

Weekend here is Friday and Saturday - so...

• Got up a bit later;


• Ate a bigger breakfast;


• Wrote a few more documents and just before lunch....


• Met Rob in the foyer and went with him to the Mall of The Emirates.


• Had a beer in Kenpinski's and a sandwhich in a coffee bar then back to the hotel.


• Laid by the pool for about an hour, quick swim then back for a shower;


• Laundry duty - couple of shirts needed ironing;


• A few more documents and it's 19:00 already (3hrs in advance of UK).

Yes - agree - wasn't Geller cringe making?

He never turns down a self-publicity opportunity.

It seems that tonight there is a film showing by the pool

(and airbeds to float on as you watch - see photo).

Think I'll give it a miss - still hellish hot out there.

Back in Big Brother

Spent the morning in BT's office down town (Media City)

just along the way from the BBC building.

Quite deep sand covered forecourt

(don't know if it's normally there or if it has blown over recently).

Don't Jump!!

The view from my office window shows a lake in the background and a building site directly below.

It is V.HOT and dusty.

Sleeping really well and long.

Excellent Hotel.

On the road again

This week I have been mainly getting ready to travel out to Dubai.

Seems I'll be staying some of the time at the Montgomerie Hotel which would be great if I happened to play Golf.
