Mad about golf, enthusiastic about life, totally in love with my husband and just having fun.
We are sad to leave our home and family for the past few days. I have a sneaky suspicion that it had something to do with the ludicrously large tip that John gave the porter on arriving day, as he had no change. Any time we come to reception, we […]
We managed to bring forward our 10am tee time on the Majlis Course at the Emirates Golf Club to 7:30am, as it was forecast to be 44°c at 11am. So in preparation for the early start it was a quiet nigh with a light dinner in the club as venturing […]
It was an early start today with an 8am tee off time at Jumeriah Earth Course. which in Johns research was ranked in the Top 100 courses in the world. We went with high expectations. We were very enthusiastic as this was the earliest tee off time we could get […]
This is settling in day, we should still be jet lagged and having irregular sleeping patterns – but NO we managed to sleep a good 9 hours even though we both got up about 4 times to pee as we had drunk that much water yesterday! Great news and a […]
First time flying Emirates and not too bad, we had the pleasure of an A380 taking us from Sydney to Dubai. It amazes me every time I see those planes, I do not know how they can fly they are massive. The funniest thing was Johns face when he looked […]
Pat, Johns mum turned 80 in February and her wish was to have both her daughter in laws by her side. Sure, she wanted her two sons and their families together, so off we start our long journey to Europe to grant her wish. John and I are jetting in […]
The holiday is coming to an end, this is my last post for this series. Jen is still not well but soldiering on, she stayed home whilst we all went skiing. Another Bluebird day, going up the mountain we are discussing what our plans are and Neil said that he […]
Jen and Neil had a terrible night, very little sleep with Jen (wait for it) sweating buckets. Not at all well this morning so no skiing for Jen and off to the doctor. Neil is still suffering with a pain in the arse! He overstretched his Gluteus Maximus – me […]
It bucketed it down with rain last night and the forecast on the mountain was for grainy snow – we got fussy and decided not to ski. What a mistake this was – it was a glorious day in town and on the mountain. Oopsie! Shaz – go to dentist […]
It was forecast for high winds today so we decided it was a good opportunity for a rest day. I woke up to find this view this morning It was a chore morning for me, tidying up the mess we made with our DIY, some more purchases for […]
