Getting fed up now with the weather, although not looking forward to summer either. Also had enough of dentists, doctors and all these issues, so I got myself a plan to cheer me up.
Rejoined swimming pool and am forcing myself to go everyday. There will also be random bike rides to the coffee shop and pick up bits of shopping as well as dog walking every day. I'm going to pick something new to do each week and read more, instead of watching TV during the day (read 3 books this week)
97 Sunday Spent the morning after a dog walk in the garden, cycled to the local shop for a coffee, swept both the balconies, went for a swim. Had a BBQ for dinner and sat in the garden blogging and reading. Walked Bob again with Peter.
98 Monday Dentist early, stopped at Wafi Mall which is built like a pyramid, for a coffee, came home, sat on the sofa and read a book all day. Plans out the window having woken up to a thunderstorm and rain.
99 Tuesday Dog park, coffee and natter with human friends. Bathed Bob and then went for a swim and tidied up the house, finished another book and started the next one. Peter was off work with a heavy cold.
100 Wednesday Plans went to pot as we woke to rain, having to drag everything back inside, walked Bob and took myself off to the Marina Mall for a coffee, blogging, reading and a walk. Child 3 spent 4 hours airside in Abu Dhabi this morning on his way back to Australia. Peter was off work again, decided against the pub quiz as we're both a bit poorly. Spent the afternoon and evening watching movies.
101 Thursday Walked Bob, went to the Dr's for more blood tests, then onto the dermatologist to have a mole on my back removed that's changed in size and is catching on my bra strap. Walked Bob in the early evening. Popped in for a drink or three with one of Peter's colleagues at the Marina.
102 Friday Visited the outlet village, didn't buy anything other than a coffee. In the evening we went to the Irish Village for dinner and to see Boyzone. I've seen them before in 1995 and 1997. It was an open air venue and it rained.
103 Saturday A day of nothing, popped out for lunch. Peter flew out to Pakistan for the week. We had the biggest storm to date, thunder, lightening and torrential lane. I watched TV, did a few chores and had an early night.
Finished the week feeling just the same, so lethargic, body aches, chest pains and breathlessness, rain, more sand to sweep and more blood tests next week.

I think you have a good plan, fingers crossed, the weather obliges. I'd be fed up with the dentist as well. Hope the removed mole area is not too sore.
ReplyDeleteThe pyramid mall looks beautiful. Glad you went to see Boyzone.
Really enjoyed Boyzone, reliving my youth lol. No dentist now until the end of May yipee. The site of the mole removal is very painful, like a blister
DeleteI can't believe how much rain you've had! No wonder you're feeling miserable with both your health and the weather. Reading books is always the best thing to do, though! How exciting to see Boyzone! I'm going to see Spice Girls in June - I saw them twice back in the days, once with Geri and once without!
ReplyDeleteLove concerts that help me relive my youth lol. More rain and sand storms this week i'm afraid
DeleteI can understand why you are feeling fed up. Rain and dentists are no fun at all. Thankfully I don't have much experience of sweeping sand.
ReplyDeleteThe Wafi Mall is beautiful!
Oh wow! I love Boyzone. I hope you had a fab time!
Boyzone was amazing. i've given up with the outdoor area now
DeleteWow, so much rain. That pyramid looks beautiful. How cool getting to see Boyzone. I'd love to see them
ReplyDeleteIt just hasn't stopped raining, it's so weird for this time of the year
DeleteI saw Boyzone at Newbury Races about 10 years ago I think, I'd totally forgotten about the Irish Village until I saw your FB post, definitely had dinner and drinks there one night. You've had so much rain there lately haven't you. #365
ReplyDeleteI'm so over this rain now, but so going to miss it in a few weeks lol
DeleteWe have had no rain all week here, not that I am complaining.
ReplyDeleteLove Bob in the pool. Dixie would not do that.
Love the walls/roof of the pyramid mall.
Good for you for trying something new and forcing yourself to do something every day
Bob isn't a big fan of the bath, but he does like swimming
DeleteI think you have a good plan, good luck and hope the weather is good. The dentist sounds so tough, you are a star to keep it up. Hope the mole removal is doing ok. hugs xx #365
ReplyDeletegot no choice keeping the dental work going once they removed my front tooth
DeleteOh no sorry to hear you are still feeling rough and Peter was poorly too! Is that amount of rain normal for Dubai in April?
ReplyDeleteThat mall looks amazing!
almost of unheard of to have rain in April and this much also, normal rain fall is 5 days of the year
DeleteReading and movies sounds a great way to unwind #365
ReplyDeleteit's been a nice change
