Can’t you believe it’s already February of 2011. Where did time go? We have been in Dubai for almost 3 months and have settled quite nicely into life here.
We found an apartment on the Palm! just before Christmas, then it was a flight to the in-laws in Frankfurt for a snowy, white Christmas and baby’s first snow!
Since we’ve been back, it’s been cold – by Dubai standards. Who would have thought jumpers and long-sleeves would be necessary here! In fact, I think it’s been colder since the start of the year than in December.
Haven’t been shopping much although it is Dubai Shopping Festival at the mo. The discounts on branded items aren’t great. Still more expensive compared to LDN so think I will hold out until a trip to ol’ blighty is planned. Ahh, London. Didn’t think I would miss it as much as I do. Coffee at the 101 in Notting Hill, breakfast at Vicky’s in Maida Vale and weekly meet ups with the NCT mums and babes. All seems so long ago now.
For now, we have skiing next week to look forward to. We are off to Schladming in the Austrian Alps and the in-laws will be joining us. Hurray! This means the husband and I are going to get some sleep as baby will be in his grandparents room. After which, it’ll be baby’s first trip to Singapore. Can’t wait!
