Sporadic work on a news magazine is always a nice change. It’s probably about the only time I stop worrying about what the children are (or aren’t) eating, what they’re getting up to, or into, and instead start worrying about Iran’s nuclear capability.
There HAS been a lot of activity at the airbase right by us, lately.
This aside, landing slap bang in the middle of a news office again has rendered me speechless this evening, so today’s post is inspired by something I heard on the radio on the way to work.
Every Thursday, Dubai 92’s Catboy & Geordiebird invite listeners to leave three words on their Facebook page saying anything they like about their day. People put things like ‘Nursery today, yay!’, ‘Oh no dentist’, ‘Homemade fluffy PANCAKES’, ‘I’m in labour’ – you get the gist.So, to join in the fun, here are my three-word Thursdays:
Nothing to wear
Traffic’s terrible again
Dubai is back
Late for school
Dodgy drop off [forgot LB’s pet fluffy duck]

No afternoon pickup!
Pea-soup brain
