Friday's the first day of the weekend here and its like a Sunday, so not a bad day for beating the traffic to shift all our gear the 30km down Sheik Zayed Road to a different apartment. Fortune smiled on us and we got upgraded to a 3 bedroom so Jack has his own room- the two bedrooms are all full and I gave the agent a lot of pressure over ensuring there would be a room available for us. The apartment's great and the internet is free which saves a fortune compared to the last place which was screwing us for 13GBP a day. We dumped the bags and got the kids into their cozzies, to go and relax by the pool and cool off ourselves- packing and moving is always a bit stressful! Looking forward to about a week here, wish the firm had placed us here when I originally asked. Nothing is ever that simple, think it needed Liz to nearly snap to get them to help. The kitchen is a lot better in this one, so we might even have a bit more cooking in-house....eating out is reasonably priced but it isn't sustainable every night! We had dinner (after homework) aside the marina then found ourselves lying outside on cushioned settees looking at the night sky through the skyscrapers. The temperatures are getting much more pleasant now so people are starting to emerge more in the evenings.

Looks like you're having a fantastic time, we are all jealous sitting in rainy England and misty autumnal mornings. Everyone here sends their best and we all miss you and your cheeky grin. Keep updating us, it helps to escape now and again.
Thanks Carol
I saw that Ian has managed to escape the rain to go to ITS world congress in China though, very nice. I bet he won't be ringing you in the middle of the night to ask for directions back to his hotel though.... :-)
