Day 19 – Monday 1 January 2018

Another lazy day, I’m loving this lifestyle.  We will so miss Austin’s good morning wake up kiss when we get back home.  This morning gaming with the boys, then a couple of hours in the pool followed by a great al fresco lunch Charles put together.  The weather was very pleasant 26C.  After lunch, a bit of Lego building with Austin followed by some xbox gaming with the boys & some more Lego building.  Tereza had another nanna nap today, a worry she might get use to this & she will expect it when we get home.  Monica has been busy getting some of her architectural photographs together to enter 11 of them into an international competition – she is very talented, it would be great if she would win.  Then it was dinner time & Monica made us a delightful chicken schnitzel.  A few glasses of wine & some chatting & planning our trip for tomorrow when we plan to travel to Oman for a few days.  It was a 4 day holiday here in Abu Dhabi because their weekend is the Friday & Saturday but the Sheik decided that the Sunday should be a holiday too, he is generous to his people.  He has also decreed that all religions are to be respected here.  The first day of the new year is over, very, very relaxing, a worry that Ron will get used to this life style & expect it to happen back in Australia too..  Monica & Charles are very good hosts & the boys are gorgeous & loving.
