Some pics to catch everyone up

PS Yes, this PS is at the top, so I can explain the post, without re-writing the whole effing thing! So having posted this (pics carefully in order) I realise that pics need to be posted backwards to get the order right, as per the writing, and also, you cannot rotate images or DO ANYTHING TO THEM once they are posted. Other people with blogs, please jump in here and correct me, for once in my life I'd love to be wrong, as this just pisses me off!

So, the first group of piccies show the B&B - the garden, swimming pool, (some of the many) loungers, my room, my bathroom etc - I apologise in advance if I really haven't gotten any better at taking pictures, but having seen some of the pics my mates have taken with my camera, I am going to blame the camera ;-)
Then we have the drive on beach, the Monster Toy truck, us getting stranded and the little rescuer car with jumper leads ;-) The next lot is the Madinat SOUK where we went drinking, just the outside area, along the (fake) promenade.
So, I found a place to live - in Umm Al Sheif, between the Burj (7 star hotel thang with helipad/tennis court on top - pic included) and the Mall of the Emirates - I think the 3rd biggest mall in the world, behind only 2 other malls in Dubai. Ok, that's a made up stat, but it is the mall with the largest indoor snow slope in the world. Close to the beach, 20 mins from work (in traffic) and sharing with 3 other people (Australian/Irish/English). We all have our own en-suite rooms, and there's a huge garden, and swimming pool - pictures to follow when I move in (hopefully Sat).
In the meanwhile, I get to go to IKEA (woohoo!) and spend a large amount of cash (loaned by work thankfully) on furniture for my new and soon-to-be awesome room.
And lastly, the view from my (now apparently temporary, and shared with Vanessa) office.
