Well guys, here I am back in Melbourne again suffering from a healthy dose of jetlag and a nice cold which Duncan kindly passed along to me so I could enjoy it on the plane!

Dubai was a pretty interesting place, well worth a visit. Unfortunately we didn’t do much when we were there as we were so knackered we spent a LOT of time sleeping. When we arrived I wasn’t at all sure I was going to be able to stay. The night before our flight out, my dear old Grandmother had a heart attack. I ended up flying not knowing how serious it was or if she might have passed away by the time we got there.

Fortunately it transpired that she is OK (as ok as an 83 year old having her second heart attack can be!). However after all the worry and various teary outbursts from good old Kirsty on the journey we were both bloody knackered. We did manage to go and have a bit of a look round on the Dubai Big Bus Tour, so we got to see all the sights. Here’s a picture of windswept little me in front of the Burj Al Arab, the famous 7 star hotel (I don’t earn enough to stay there just yet!!)

We’ve no pictures of Melbourne as the sum total of our activities have been sleeping (for 17 hours last night) and putting our van into an aircon repair place ($700 for a new compressor before we’ve even got into the bloody thing!).

Hopefully things will be a bit less exhausting from this point on, and I’ll be able to get a few affiliate related posts up and running. Speak to y’all soon!
