Sandier Pastures

If we go with this schedule every week, I will be ‘tanner’ than Naomi Campbell long before the official summer months begin!

After work today, I will go to Gold Souk (Dubai Gold Market — bus terminal near it) and meet hubby and Pristine. We will be heading to Jumeirah, where the fantastic beaches are, to meet a family I met online. The English family will be relocating back to the UK and leaving so many things behind them giving ‘Dubaians’ like myself a big chance to bargain! (They have advertised their stuff and invited us over for viewing.)

I will finish work at 1:30 pm, arrive probably in Gold Souk by 2:00, then probably be in Jumeira at 3:00 because though it is very near, traffic is at its worst on Thursday afternoons when everyone begin their weekend breaks. The family in Jumeirah is only free after 5pm.

So what do we do until then? Frolic in the beach (again!) of course! This time, one of us will be officially dressed — Pristine will be sporting a new bathing suit. 

3 pm. The beach. At least 2 hours of sun.My skin is going to cry!
