It's the end of another hectic work week. Darcy has been unwell for most of the week by a stomach bug. I've not been 100% either but hopefully she will be well enough to relax for two nights at the Bab Al Shams Desert Resort Hotel this weekend. We leave on Friday and the dust and sand storms are supposed to subside by then. I've been able to work slightly shorter hours during Ramadan and Darcy has been working six hour days. She'll get one week off for Eid while my work hasn't posted its schedule yet. Hopefully we'll get time off from work to take a two week trip to Morocco during the first two weeks in December!
Below are stories from what's been going on in our neck of the woods.....
Police to enforce key-cutting permits Just what we need - more bureaucracy! I've gone to the store that's mentioned in this article. There is a tiny key cutting store in a run down walk apartment that is across our street. I wonder how this law will affect them.

Gulf real estate a stable investment unless crisis hits, says official - hmmm....there's no real estate market bubble in the GCC?
Isolated students enjoy free flights
Ramadan violators penalised Dh1,000 - I'm tired of tourists complaining about not knowing what the basic laws are here. Reading a Lonely Planet book will explain the important dos and donts when visiting or living in the UAE. A no brainer is don't eat, drink or smoke in public during the day during Ramadan whether you're Muslim or not!
Love of homeland grew overseas
More tremors felt in Emirates
