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.

You need to dumb down round here, obviously.

Still dark at 7am in Spain thanks to Franco aligning the clocks with the Nazis.

. Morning all and every. These mornings I wake up with bites and its not Mr N. I have a anti mossie machine and with air con they don't bite so it must be ants or maybe a snake under the bed. Will sort it today.
Hope you are all OK.
Of to the Alhambra jno? If so wear plastic shoes as the gypsies fall over themselves to clean your shoes.

cat fleas Neti?
Its very warm and sticky here and neighbours are having a tree taken out....not a problem except for the noise...its too hot to close the windows and doors.

[shaneystar2]

Warm and sticky here too as I slooged with some domestic duties which I could no longer turn a blind eye on.
Rain supposed to sweep in tomorrow .We can do with some it's very dry and dusty here ,myself included .
Still waiting for the skip to be removed ..tut.

No woofy defo not fleas, cat is flea free and wears a flea collar. So room has been thoroughly cleaned, mattress sprayed and turned and sprayed, new mattress cover, all clean bedding and pillows all with clean protective slips and pillow cases. So will see tonight. Don't actually look like bites, more like hives.

Have had a Bacardi and coke, one mustn't become set in ones ways. 33 degrees but tolerable here as predicted. Hope biddies are coping with the Indian summer.

[netibiza]

A Cuba libre jno! I used to swig pints of the stuff!!

[jno]

Well, Diet Coke in fact, I don't know if that will set Cuba free or just keep Cubans slim.

[netibiza]

Yuk diet coke! There's no helping some people. If you are going to imbibe then drink the proper stuff!!

[netibiza]

And yay we have our jailbroken fire stick up and running. Mr N as per usual got into a shouty FAFF, so I googled it and had it installed in 5 mins. He's happy as a sand boy now!!

[netibiza]

Morning all biddies everywhere.
Am doing a Robinia, just can't get well. Feel bad again today, achey and tired. Wish I could shift this damned thing.

[woofgang]

good morning all tipping it down here AND warm AND humid. Its like Singapore in the monsoon

[woofgang]

ah....its also not morning

[shaneystar2]

Hello all
What a dreary day.Still warm and humid though in spite of the rain which hasn't really amounted to much.Just drizzle.
Go back to the doctor Neti.Something's not right by the sound of it.
Take it easy.
Hope the rest of you are all OK.

[netibiza]

Just watching the Proms. I love it.

[jno]

The best possible news is when the skies are watering the garden when I am somewhere else.

[netibiza]

Good morning biddies. I watched Last nightnof the Proms. I loved it, sang my little heart out. Mr N had gone to bed. The cat got disturbed!
I think I feel OK. Not taking "extra just in case" anti bios anymore!!!
Hope you are all well and happy.
Buenas dias a jno y todo!

Morning all...I haven't had a bacardi and coke since the seventies.

Bright, breezy and chilly, it seems today's rain has been cancelled so that's good. Yesterday was so dreary, had a bit of an energy dip so I spent most of it chatting on the phone. Yes neti, it's wearing feeling under the weather, hope you feel better soon.

My gardener seems to have fallen off the radar... tut ... and the grass is long and wet. Any volunteers? While you're here you can spend the night in the loft to catch 'the beast'. Something has been scratching again and I couldn't sleep for worrying about it. Clearly it/they hid or were out shopping when Tarquin went to look. I'll do a flask of tommy soup and some dairylea butties for you to take up there....it's posh 'ere.
Anyway I was looking for a distraction on youtube and discovered that The Mousehole Cat animated film is on there. I'm a big kid, I love it.

I used to watch The Proms but after 121 years one so tires of it. :)

Hello all
Lovely day ,bright and sunny and nowhere near as humid.
We've just put the new rug down in the dining area.I've never had a rug delivered on a Sunday before.They'll be delivering stuff in the middle of the night soon.
It's probably the just in case antibiotics that have made you feel rough Neti .Glad you feel better and hope everyone is Ok.

Robinia, something has been scratching behind the skirtingboardiin the living room for more than a year now. Quite loud sometimes. I have stopped up every gap in the inside and outside walls. All I can think is it's got in from the other half of the semi, though I would have thought that if it did, even him next door would notice on one of his occasional visits. I just try to ignore it.

Nice hot day in Ronda today, some sort of fiesta with people riding in their carriages and all dolled up with mantillas and such and going into the bullring to win prizes for their horses. Our guide says most of them are actually Brits who live in the Valley Of The British nearby. Do the Brits in the Balearics do this sort of thing?
