Winter, Weather, Worries...

February begins, and we have a beautiful winter this time. The weather was especially lovely this weekend, when we went to see the birds gathered up in Ras Al Khor Birds Sanctuary. They come every year, but in my 5 years in Dubai the first time for us. We saw plenty of flamingoes, grey heron and others whose names we don't know. You got busy making friends with all the people present. Incredibly social aren't you?

It gets a bit nasty for mommy and daddy with all kinds of people smiling, cooing and talking to you. Sometimes there's touching of your cheeks, which irks us both no end! I could bite off some of those fingers, I tell you!!

News from Philippines - Tita Maricel, the wife of Tito Michael and the mother of four of your cousins, got herself a Sari-sari store (General provisions shop). Some people getting old and sick - Our grannanay is getting weak eyes and ears and that's worrying us badly. Grantatay's sister got a stroke in December and continues to be unwell.

Some people planning to fly over to Dubai, with our help to find here a well-paying job. We are hoping that the monies would be sufficient to keep everybody happy and contented and the bills paid.

Hmmm, after all the news follows the weather report. It rained for a few days and it is pleasant, sometimes cold and the last couple of days were windy and dusty. Good time to be out and about. It was your friend Ate Abby's birthday on the 1st Feb and tomorrow we are invited to a party at the Safa park. Hope the weather will allow.

More later...
