Currently I’m in Dubai visiting my eldest boy, Nick and the youngest member of the Jones clan little Isla and of cause Nicks wife Mia.

I seem to be getting on OK with Isla who can be quite tetchy, especially if strangers touch her!

Here I am playing This little piggy with her toes, quite a feat for an out of town visitor – I’m assured by her parents!  On Wednesday she is 3 so the terrible two’s should be left behind 🙂

Since both of her parents are web designers, Isla is pretty unique in that she has her own blog (family viewing only) which has been regularly updated since she was -6months or so old. This is a great way for her extended family to keep in touch with her. Will be interesting to see when she does her first unaided post!

Tonight Nick and I went out to The Budda bar – pretty impressive place where the nut bowls are continually replaced with full ones, although at 4 UKP for a Corona beer I guess they should be 🙂

On the way back you can see all the construction sites working through the night. This is a pretty good shot of yet another skyscraper going up 24/7. To see all my Dubai images head over to flickr

Couldn’t help but smile at the kink in our flight path to Dubai,  to avoid overflying Iraq. Obviously still problems with the airspace..
