Our odeing worked its sad but true A little sprinkle for me and you Yet now the skies are looking clearer A proper downpour would've been much fairer.

I guess it is true the spell has been broken Never before has a truer word been spoken Just as we thought the downpour was here The sun has come out... Summers here i fear.

A bit of what you fancy is not much to ask Sitting huddled up with some tea in a flask A scarf round my neck and a glove on my hand What a welcome change from this land full of sand.

Tis sad that we long for a wet windy day In our previous lives that was normal okay? But the sun in Dubai is just constantly out Makes us want to do a rain dance, scream and shout

BM i understand your need for rain So long without the wet stuff has been such a pain Now let the skies darken and the clouds open fire Before we click the switch and put the AC on higher.

Hiya Can reccommend Beachcombers at Jumeirah Beach Hotel. Its buffet style and they have different themed nights. Book a table outside and you'll almost be sitting on the beach. Makes a lovely evening....And you may even get serenaded! Oh, its in Fine Dining too.... Enjoy....And Happy Birthday.

Group of 6 of my friends employ each other's children for gardening, car washing, taking out younger siblings, baby sitting, dog walking etc. The older kids are then working for their money and not just doing chores in the house that they should do for free. The adults get things done, the kids have jobs and pocket money and everyone is happy. Spongemonkey, you should maybe try a little creative thought. *Much like*

Evening A friend has got her 3 grandchildren over this week and, of course, they would love to hit the beach. We went to Riva on The Palm the other day( great place by the way) and the sea was swamped with jellyfish... Even at the shore line? Is this a problem confined to The Palm area or are other beaches jelly fish clear?? Would really appreciate any advice... TIA

Somatopsychic model: panic disorder triggered by misinterpreted internal stimuli (e.g., stimuli from vestibular dysfunction), that are interpreted as signifying imminent physical danger. Heightened sensitivity to vestibular sensations leads to increased anxiety and, through conditioning, drives the development of panic disorder. Eh???
