Not a happy little vegemite ....... On the Move Again !!!!!! ..... Dubai Doldrums
Hi All
am a bit sad today !!!!
just found out last night that we are moving …….. AGAIN ……… !!!!! 4 times in 2 years, but who’s counting ????
Well at least it is not tooooo bad it is more or less just up the road …… ie AD to Dubai which is about one and a half hours away by car from here……
Anyhow the deal has been done …… whilst I was in Oz and I will just have to get used to the idea !!
Dubai is one of those great to visit cities but difficult to live in ……. it is not very user friendly ….. but lots to see and do as a tourist.
Will be without my own internet facilities for about a month or more cos there is only one provider in the emirates for any telecommunications so the waiting list is always about six weeks……..
We probably wont be going for a few weeks, so at least I will be able to log onto RB a bit longer ………..
so thats about it !!!
as the title said ……… not a happy little vegemite !

good luck in your move,, hope all goes smoothly, and we look forward to seeing more of your work when you are able to,,,,
Well I suppose a man has to do what a man has to do[ [or woman]in this case .Dubaii is very popular for people from over here for holidays ,providing your loaded that is .
it must be hard when you just get settled and your on the move again.
Thanks very much Mizding and Irene for you kind comments, I appreciate them very much ….. I still have a few weeks up my sleeve before I have to sign off for a while ………. so will make the best of that with all my lovely foties from my last trip home…….
yes I agree Dubai is a great city and there is a lot to do and lots more art and there is a lot more opportunity to develop your interests in this area……. compared to AD……
but to be honest it is not really my kind of city ……. it is It is full of Glitz and Glamour Brassy and Brash !!!
Abu Dhabi is a far nicer city with a much closer tight knit community and you can actuall y walk around the city without feeling you are just another brick in the wall ………
but you are both right I need to be positive about it and just get on with it …… look forward not back !
Sorry to hear you’re moving again Shaley… I could think of better things to do.. at least it’s not too far from where you are…..I guess. Trying to be positive here : ) One of my friends family lives in Dubai… they travel to Australia pretty regularly. I think she exhibits jewellery here in OZ. I know Jan has the most beautiful furniture and decorative objects from Dubai…I used to drool when I visited her in Albury.: ). Will you know anyone when you get there? I agree…try to see it as an adventure : )… and take plenty of photos so when you do get the internet you can show us all the lovely exotic things there..Do you know your new adress yet? When you do ..send it to me by bubblemail and I’ll write to you : ) warm wishes, Wen x
Hi Wendy ……. wow that is so kind of you ….. thanks so much I will send you a bubble mail with the details of the hotel we will be in before we find our accomodation, it would be great to meet your friends in dubai !!
Hi, Shaley, I hope the move will go well for you. There should be many new photo opportunities and I hear they have pretty good air conditioning there as well, not to mention the shopping. Well, your expectations sound pretty low so it’s gotta be better than that! Good luck and good wishes, Betty
Oh Shirley, I’m so sorry to read that you are so sad about the move. Just think of how exciting it might be…The light seems to be so beautiful there from photos that I’ve seen and living in a rainy, grey environment I feel a little envious. And it will surely suit that fabulous eye for colour that is all too evident in your work!
But as Wen remarked, let me have your new address and I too will write to you.
Speak soon and keep your chin up, lots of love

Well lass at least you will still have your online mates around when you get on line again. I will write as well – really feel for you – its nice to have a permanent home.
Thanks Mand M , and Jo …. I am starting to feel a little better about the move but it will take some time to get my head around moving again and all that entails ! …. yes and you are right M and m at least I will have my rb friends ……. but not for much longer cos I wont have access for about six weeks once I move …… it takes that long to organise a new connection !!
Best wishes with the move! I’ve moved so few times in my life that I can only imagine frequent moves and the adjustment to a new place. Take care!
