Life in Sunny Dubai

G had an engagement in Ajman (of all places) before she was to be at school today. She told me when she was going to be home so I was dressed and ready to drive her to school, except she got majorly delayed. By the time she got home, she had missed her slot with her student so we stayed in and got on with things until our next engagement at 6:30 which was to meet up with our group of "old friends".

It's labelled "Old Friends" on the WhatsApp group but in reality, it is ex-colleagues. We all worked in the same company. I joined in 1998 and five of them were there before me. That's how far back we go!

We met at the sailing club arriving around sunset. Things have opened up a lot in the last two days COVID-wise. It meant that nine of us were able to sit at the same table and there was a live musician. We were still outdoors so felt the reality of the weather changing. (It was warm and humid). A good evening with good company. We're looking forward to the next one, which will hopefully be before the end of the year!
