It was 5.30am, Dubai time when I arrived at the hotel and around 01.30am British time. That's not too bad, even though I'd been at Glasgow airport at 11.20am. But not conducive to a fresh look. I had breakfast before going to bed and managed a horizontal 5 hours. No phone service for my mobile and no dirhams for internet, was putting me in a bit of a black hole. I had to go to bed without blogging! But I was allowed a free, 3 minute call, so managed to get Spook in. Was frightened that it would be spent on an answering machine.
Thankfully got an internet card on mastercard and feel back in touch with the world. It's amazing how we count on that now. Not that long ago, it would just be a big blank spot, where I knew I was fine, but no-one else did. I'm not sure if this makes us less anxious now, or more. Less, I think. Will have some lunch now and my lovely nephew is meeting me around 4.30pm. I would never have been able to contact him without instant e-mail facility, so that just answered my question. There is an exotic feel to the wrap around heat outside, and the warm wind. Will escape the hotel confines, when my young escort arrives.
