Happy New Year to all readers (both of you!).
After a most enjoyable trip back to the UK, we have now all returned back to Abu Dhabi for the final stretch before our move to Dubai. And have been immediately reminded of the terrible service that we get from our television provider, particularly since they have now removed Sky News from our contracted network without prior notice or reimbursement of the already extortionate fee they charged us. Whilst I was not the biggest fan of Sky News in the first place, it was at least a little piece of home and an opportunity for us to sit and gloat over just how cold it is in England in the winter (plus the occasional stories about public transport failings, tax increases, etc.). Now that that source of enjoyment has been removed and replaced with some channel called "Euronews", at least we will be able to keep abreast of the exciting developments in Luxembourg's local elections.
Anyway, at least we have been able to catch up on the Christmas telly that we taped while we were home. Of particular note (and apparently contrary to the British press) we quite enjoyed the This Life + 10 episode. We also caught the nostalgic trip through 30 years of Saturday morning kids TV which was quite fun.
But not a patch on the inescapable daily lifestyle shows (Cash in the Attic, Escape to the Country, etc) that we have now returned to of course...
