UAE day and desert camping trip

 Hello!
Another busy week.  Went to Cavalli club with papa and anna for dinner - and a few others.  Fancy indeed!  Delicious food though I have to say - and really funky inside.  Furry walls and what not!
 An exhibition at the bastikiya - one of my favourite places in Dubai.  Very old school and mystycal.  I've decided this is where I want to have my exhibition so I'm going to meet with some galleries and go from there.  One place had a spot outside you could create your own pictures with candle wax in the emirates flag colours for UAE day!  Meggy is going to put up her cute heart picture in her new home!

UAE day was immense - all the cars here were kitted out with stickers, decals, flags, glitter - the whole thing.  Lots of beeping and cheering down Jumeirah Beach Road.  Silly string to the face!  We showed our support with carrefour scarves and a horn.

This weekend we went on a camping trip to the desert. A convo of maybe 6 cars... very fun.  Off-roading and dune bashing!  I was scared I'm not gonna lie.  We got stuck once but someone pulled us out.  I thought we were going to roll over!!  Trick is to drive super fast at a steady speed (or get pro driver James Horsman to take over.)   Then bbq's, sing songs by the campfire and photo taking play time.  All fun.  No sleep from the freezing desert... I was not prepared for this!  Wake up early and drive home with a cheeky stop and dunkin' donuts...
