Hi loyal readers.

Just a quick update today. After the heady thrill of being voted Dubai's Hottest Couple, the intervening week was equally thrilling with our friend Andre De Villiers (He of the VW ad fame) staying with us for a couple of days and doing a gig at our church on Valentines day. It was an absolute blessing and Andre touched many hearts. I'm sure he'll be invited back.

We went to the mall after the gig and Janene & I could hardly keep our eyes open. It was interesting to hear Andre's comments about the prices - much more expensive here than SA or the USA it would appear. I drove him around on a whirlwind tour of Dubai after church on Friday 15th and we saw a lot of the "usual suspects" in terms of Dubai sights - not actually as much to see here as people might think.

Then off to the airport with Andre and directly on to the Santana concert with my good friends Carol & Brad Holdsworth - Carol of the "Andre champagne" fame. The music was good but the organisation was chaotic - nightmare getting in. Had the best lasagne I've ever had at a restaurant before the gig. All 3 of us resolved we would never go to a standing concert again - no sit, no go.

Saturday the 1st is J's birthday and that's when we've booked the balloon ride. I'll post pics thereafter.

Have a jol. I plan to.

Blessings
