2010 Weekend One


The first week of the New Year has had a few events- we arrived back from Thailand on 02 Jan and had the rest of the day to recover before starting back at school and work on Sunday 03 Jan. On 04 Jan the Burj Dubai or Burj Khalifa as it has been called was opened with a big firework display, visible from our villa but better on TV! The first weekend, Friday we went to Safa Park for a picnic with Brian & Elaine Luck and their kids, Cameron and Becky. The weather was nice, around 25 deg C and the girls rode around on a cycle cart. Jack is too cool to go with us to the park now so he stayed at home and did some homework (or X-Box). The park was really busy, everywhere people picnicking and sitting around talking. It was a good people watch, with some locals even putting up a dome tent and sitting inside it?! We played a few games including Priest of the Parish and Wink Murder, plus some rugby practice with the ball Cameron had brought along.
