Bronzed my ...

So I got back to Blighty early yesterday morning on time and slightly refresshed after an overnight flight. I did manage to get a bulkhead seat with lots of extra leg room and slept a little bit too: maybe half of the seven flying hours.

In the bathrrom (that's the room in our house that has a bath in it!) I looked in the mirror and my bronzed visage melted into being a pale and wan visage. Ah well, bronzed Adonis look for next time then, he?

Hari cut

I did it for the first time in the Gulf.

I have just had my hair cut here in Dubai for the first time ever. A nice job he did of it too. Sets off my, ahem, sun tan very nicely.

Speaking of tans, the hair dresser was a local young gentleman of course and my "tan" paled into insignificance next to his perfect bronze. Oh well, can't have everything and I'm off for my ten minute top up now. Notice, I have fair skin and am being exceptionally responsible over this tan. I am taking my tanning very slowly as I will have been here for three weeks by the time I leave.

Jocks all over

Now I am half Sottish by parentage so I've no real axe to grind but I've noticed that whenever there is an English footy match on the tele there is a good chance that the summariser is a Jock.

Here I am in Dubai watching a Premiership programme and, can you believe it, the second chap in the studio summarising at half time is a Jock!

Just thought I'd say that.
