OK. I haven't posted for a while. I've been packing. Well. Not true. I've been thinking about packing to move house but in the end I hired someone else to do it. They packed in a fraction of the time it would have taken me, it was all done tidily, without damage and they did it all with such good humoured high spirits that it was almost pleasurable moving home. Again. For the 4th time in 8 months.
I now live in Dubai. I love it. I love it. There's just one thing though. I can't stop loving it. My neighbourhood is just too marvellous to cope with. My internet isn't yet connected so I'm sat in the coffee shop across the road and they have a happy hour every weekday evening between 6-9pm when they serve free food! Could anyone believe just how ecstatic this makes me feel? And it's not just a few crisps and dry old nuts (no comments please). It's full on sandwiches, canapes (v swanky I tell ya) and cake-tastic cakery!! I'm considering a profiterole. I know! I KNOW!! Free profiteroles. Paradise.
OK. Back to my new home. Not sure if I've mentioned it yet but I love it. It has a vast wraparound balcony that I could possibly convert into a fully functional 10 pin bowling alley with snack and drinks service at one end. The view is of the marina, the beach/sea, and in one direction the Palm Jumeirah. I can't wait to leave work each day to get home and sit and gaze out at my view. I don't think I'll tire of it.
As soon as the internet is up and running later this week I'll post some pics.
I'm just fizzing with contentment. Right. Time for a bit of cake.

Blog? I'm vaguely aware but blissfully uninitiated. Until now that is. My colleague Adele insisted we try it. It's a brave new adventure and I'm bracing myself for much excitement. I have equipment on standby should it get too exciting and find it difficult to cope. Cake I hear you ask. Yes. I love it. amongst other stuff but it's just too blinky blimey tough trying to find something someone else hasn't used already. Let's see how we get on.

- Welcome to my world. Pull up a sofa and pop your slippers on. It's probably not going to be a roller-coaster journey so there's no height restrictions and those who are pregnant or have pace-makers will be quite safe. At some point I may pass the biscuits around so make sure you stay long enough to get one.

its quite unfair to tease with free food
but this move better bring more stories!
Congratulations on your move! And, I'm so glad to hear that you are loving it! When is the house warming party??
It's great to hear a tone of happiness in your post. Can't wait to see some pics of your new hood.
Sounds AWESOME! Both the balcony/view and the FREE cakes! Glad that things are working out for you! :-)
Sounds Awesome. And how is the Economic climate in Dubai?
