Change of Seasons

The UAE has a four-season climate: warm, hot, unbearable, and summer. And we're now changing from pleasantly warm to hot.

The palm trees all have young dates just starting to fill out, tiny green dots on long stems.

The people who only winter here are thinking of leaving, now that the temperate zones are becoming pleasant.

And the rest of us are remaining here and watching the DFM fall.

I could always tell when summer was arriving in Abu Dhabi. It's when the "Hungry Man" frozen dinners start arriving at the local Spinney's, in anticipation of all the departing wives.

I wish 95% of the people would leave, take their malls with them and leave our beaches and souqs exactly how they found them.
