Sorry to hear that, I remember you saying it was the first trip in a long time. Like you say, typical, DD finally oke and now DS gets sick. Is a male thing though. Whenever I'm feeling a bit under the weather, DH catches a cold or flue. Just screaming for attention if you ask me. ;)

It was raining in Satwa at 2:45 this morning - I had to get up to let one of the dogs up. There was one flash of lightning and clap of thunder too, as well as the wind. It rained on and off until at least 4! It does seem a shame it only rained at night.

I heard the wind but not the rain (grr!) Got up and had a look outside as it sounded like those window washer stand things the guys use to wash windows on towers were battering off the outside. Couldn't see much but the wind was howling!

Didnt hear anything but was wet everywhere outside this morning at the Ranches. DH on way to AD and says there is huge amounts of sand on the roads that isnt blowing away because its all wet! And he says its the clearest day he has seen for a long time. I have a great view of the Burj Khalifa and Marina from my balcony and its stunning!
