Electricity In Dubai?

[netibiza]

Can anyone confirm that the electricity in Dubai is 220v, and that the plugs are the same as UK ie 3 pin? Thank you.

Mr N has just popped home! He's working all weekend, bgr!, so we'll have to do shopping tonight, as I don't have a car now,! So no lunching on Sunday, as think hija is going out with friends.

Hahaha...I love Kitty and I happen to love mashed swede :)

I thought you liked having the place to yourself neti. You can do step aerobics on the bed.

[netibiza]

"Step aerobics on the bed!" I'll have you know I get enough aerobics on my bed - putting the dratted duvet in the cover!
Do you all iron the duvet cover both sides? Mine's king-size and wears me out, today I ironed the tea towels ???

Hello all
Another lovely sunny day ,perfect for the birthday girl.
Yes I like Kitty too .Victoria was definitely up there with people like Patricia Routledge and Joyce Grenfell.She was such a good serious actress too.I loved Housewife 49 and Pat and Margaret.
I don't iron duvet covers at all if I can help it Neti.I do iron tea towels though.

It's been a nice day here too but the breeze is cool. My headache came back so I've done very little. I think it's sinus related, I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to birch pollen, I'm surrounded by them. I fetched some dry eye spray this morning and I'll take an a-h tonight.
The queen looked lovely in spring lime green today. They were talking to some little children about her on the news and one thinks she's got over 30 corgis that live in the garage...haha.

I give the topside of the cover a once over with the iron but by the time I've wrestled it back on it looks like a pack of dogs have slept on it.

Now Prince the singer has died, what is Going on?

[netibiza]

I baggied the bedroom tonight for tv watching as am so tired ..

I'd love to go to that Festival Jno. Better win the Lotto firt then maybe :)
I have 2 ways of ironing. 1. Quick and only iron necessaries. 2. Meticulous even iron underwear, dusters and tea-towels Depends on my mood.
What a lot of entertainers passing away. I loved Victoria Wood she had me in stitches with her comedy and she was a good serious actress too.
Think I'd enjoy Zumba Neti. I don't know anyone who would go with me though. I usually dance around my kitchen anyway.
I've found out that my Bonsai tree is and elm so I'm happy with the way it's developing up to now.
Had a good evening with absolutely no TV just the radio. Well pleased.
Off to bed now. Goodnight all sleep well.

Good morning its amazingly chilly waiting outside for the clinic to open.

[netibiza]

How does it go.... wakey wakey!!
Chilly here and all winter clothes are put away.

[Robinia]

Morning all...cloudier day, hope it warms up a bit, it's a rf of 4C.

Yes Prince is another shock. Ozzy & wife are fans and went to see him live only a couple of months ago.
Loved seeing the Victoria Wood clips last night, Acorn Antiques was genius.
I don't think I'l be jetting off to California but I do love the Who.

Good morning all, very grey and drizzley here. Torts are sulking as I won’t let them be outside.

Percy Sledge has died, I see. Only 74! Shivers.

[Robinia]

Oh dear, I'm starting to think that by the end of the year we're going to look around and ask 'So, who's still with us?'

[Robinia]

Oops jno

I thought Clive James was dead. Apparently he's been close but still hanging on in there.

[netibiza]

Been so busy today. Had to wait 50 mins to see Mexico, was just on the point of leaving when he called me in. Has given me some tramadol/paracetamol for aching arm, and then proceeded to tell me all about my daughter's visit to him, it's lucky I knew all about it as I certainly would now! You couldn't make it up, no patients confidentiality here. I've been debt collected for Mr N. Wish I could keep the money and buy a tumble drier. Like winter here again.
Am actually rather tired now. Am having a cuppa and quite kit kat as blood test is over!

[jno]

i don't remember Percy dying at all. I know Clive James is still round, he writes in the paper every weekend about how he's nearly gone.

Hmmm, got my AA card in the mail this morning, just in a regular envelope. It's the size and weight of a credit card... and what do you know, the envelope had been opened.

Hello all
Not as nice as it has been.Bit chilly and hair frizzy.
Yes people seem to popping off in droves this year. I thought Clive James had died too as he was very ill. I enjoyed the tribute last night.Two soups was as hilarious as ever.
I've been to the clinic this morning ,all bandaged again .I'm a good patient though, said nursey...I don't scream like some of 'em do :)
