Living the Dream - part 2


Cirque du soleil was excellent - better than expected - and got the weekend off to a good start. On Friday we went to the Lakes, close to where we live, with some friends for a really good brunch and the added bonus of a licensed bar and England salvaging a bit of pride by beating Australia and preventing a tour whitewash.

I went to the third round of the Dubai Desert Classic Golf tournament today. They didn't like you taking pictures, and I kept being asked where my press photo permit was, but when I came across Tiger Woods I couldn't resist. I only watched him at one hole but he hit a magnificent tee shot 220 yards to within a couple of feet for an easy birdie. The world's best ever golfer? Maybe. Certainly the richest.

Dubai certainly seems to be the favoured destination of sportsmen. Michael Schuhmacher and Roger Federer were also at the golf and Thierry Henry came later for the launch of yet another Gillette shaving product at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
