We are slowly but surely getting organised. Most of the boxes are unpacked, some of the pictures are hung and we're finally getting on top of the sand and the dust. The weather in Dubai seems to be cooling down slowly. It's still cracking the flags during the day but within the next few weeks we should be able to hit the parks and the beach without becoming human barbeques. We're looking forward to getting to know the city and to spending time outdoors. The summers here are insufferable but the silver lining is that the rest of the year is warm, dry and perfect. To have some sense of changing seasons will be refreshing after Malaysia's androgynous months which roll into one without any significant change. And if we really feel like a change of temperature, we can always visit the indoor ski slope here which enjoys sub-zero temperatures all year round. There are so many things to explore in Dubai and we're excited at the prospect of road-testing all the attactions in our own time. Of course, our free time is limited since the girls are both in school now and after Ramadan (during which the school day is shorter than normal) they won't be home until mid afternoon after a very early start. That combined with Andy's long working week means that we'll really have to put the effort in to making sure that we use our weekends wisely.
