28th - 31st August - Post Comment Love

Phew it's hot here in Dubai, temps well into the 40's every day and not dropping below 30c at night. Yes we have air con, but the short trip from the house to car is hard going and all done wearing a mask.

I'm not here on holiday, it's where I've lived for the past 5 years. We were half way through a relocation when covid hit full force, so I'm back for 3 weeks to sort the garden, sell my car, close my bank account and renew my visa. 

I've been out and about a bit more in Dubai than I have been doing in the UK, had my hair cut, been to the doctors, opticians and the dentist already. There have been plenty of coffees and I'm planning some serious shopping trips while I'm here. 

The measures against covid are much better than the UK, although cases are rising as laws are relaxed, the current measures in the UK are similar to how Dubai was operating back in early March when I was last here.

I've booked a shipping date for next week, so have packers in to pick up where we left off in March, I've sold my car, no luck yet with the garden and I'll have a few days to rearrange the stuff Peter needs whilst living here and hopefully the house won't look so sparce.

Stephanie and I would love to know what you've been up to this week.

  2. Good luck with sorting things out. I wouldn't be able to cope with that heat, but I guess it's something you get used to. I've heard the shopping centres there are very well cooled with air conditioning.
