Shamal

There is a 'shamal' in Dubai at the moment. I would get out and take some photos if it wasnt for the fear of getting sand in my eyes....Shamal=Strong dusty,dry winds which may set in suddenly at any time and generally lasts from 1 to 5 days, dying down at night and freshening again by day. The wind then causes sandstorms...

Thomas and John


I do like modern art too but nothing quite beats the detail and colour in these paintings by two of my favourite artists, Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable. I wish people still painted like this...

Inspired. Not always 'politically correct' but all effective in their own way. It is interesting to see how adverts have changed...
Rach and I have a small obsession with this vegetable extract drink

Ideal for moustarade parties...

'The Magic Man' is my personal favourite. Anyone who can grow a moustache like that is magic.
