Breakfast with eggs this morning and no chips as they’ve all gone. Not raining but wet as I walk the few yards to the office from the hotel. It’s very hot in the boardroom. Apparently, no one thought to turn off everything at the wall last night so some laptops and the projector are still alive. Partly my fault I suppose.
Just received details of my hotel for next week, the Millennium Hotel Abu Dhabi. It certainly beats my usual for comfort and style. There’s free wi fi, a leisure club and a pool. Called NatWest to let them know I’m travelling abroad. They didn't seem very bothered and just gave me an emergency number to ring. Might have left it a bit late to get the local currency, dirhams, about 6 to the £, to take with me. Will try M&S, but say nothing, or try at the airport! Will also need a guide book. When out there I’ve been told to haggle for everything or risk being ripped off.
Lunch time. Weather girl says it’s cloudy and cold. Not up here it’s not, we have warm sunshine and I need my sun glasses. No sleep since 4 o’clock so back to the hotel for fruit, tea and a nap. Better set the phone alarm; it’s doesn’t do for the trainer to be late! Nap not happening so back to the office an hour later.

Everyone has had enough by about 4pm today so we finish then. It’s the third day of a four day course and they are beginning to tire. I’m on the train to Ayr at 4.30pm for dinner with my younger brother Robert and his wifeLorraine
Robert collects me from the station in his white Audi TT Quatro; very, very nice. Their son Chris joins us for lasagna, with red wine for me, and we yawn through theChelsea Glasgow
Now for tea and bx4; that’s BBC7, blog, book and bed. Let’s hope I get more sleep tonight.
