It's sooo cold here on the Gold Coast at the moment. This is the coldest winter in 50+ years. The problem is that winter here usually isn't cold, so no-one has much in the way of heating. We're underprepared for it. I just checked the temp in Al Ain. It's just after 4am and the temp is already 29 degrees. That sounds a bit like the other extreme, but then if there's aircon, the place is equipped for those temps.
I'm sooo ready to leave the cold behind me. I'm over it!
Not much has happened in the last week. There're boxes all over the place and our abode is looking more like a house than a home as pictures, books and knick knacks disappear into the bowels of the boxes (do boxes have bowels? nah ... didn't think so!).
KG hasn't told his workplace yet that he's off for a bit of a jaunt across the world. He works from home and rarely makes the 20 min trip into the office. Maybe it'll be years before they even notice that he's 12,000 kilometres further away.
I'm off to do a stint with the boxes.

Yep, the weather is a little diffent here. High temps of 45+ every day from now until mid-September but at least the humidity is low. And as you say, lots of AC everywhere.
Well, at least for us lucky ones. The construction laborers don't have it quit so good, but that is something else you will notice when you get here.
