Gold!

Sleep has always been my way of dealing with stress, and I have napped my way through the last two weekends. It is a testimony to how calm things are here that today I am up, have played with the dog on the beach, made banada muffins, hemmed my bedroom curtains (bought in October!) and am posting to my blog.

First, I offer you these photos of some of the more tasteful windows in the Dubai gold souk.
