OK, I came back.

Well, I bet that surprised you! I'm going to do things a little out of order today because I want to tell you where Jan & I went last Thursday evening first.

Jan had seen an advertisement during the week for a concert that was on at the theatre in Madinat Jumeriah (a modern version of a traditional Arabic souk), Dubai. It was a guy that we didn't know, but he was doing the music of Queen. Jan thought it might be fun and promptly booked two tickets for Thursday. It meant going down to Dubai after work and probably getting back pretty late. But hey, Friday is the week end for us and we could sleep in.

So we drove down straight from work, had some dinner first and then went for a walk around the souk. In one of the shops I saw this globe and instantly fell in love with it. So I bought it. It's now sitting on the desk in our study.

Then we went to the concert. It was fantastic!! We were five rows from the front and he was just great in our opinion. He had the whole theatre (which was packed) rocking in the aisles, literally. We stopped off for coffee on the way home and got to bed a little after midnight. Don't ask what time we got up on Friday though. No, I said don't ask!
