The latest Facebook craze is to pour cold iced water over yourself and donate to charity. The odd thing is that it isn't the folk who nominate you who donate, but you yourself. Hard to believe but Lexi the Labrador nominated Lesley.......mmm, some human had something to do with that methinks. How unfortunate, you are leading a good life and someone (usually a 'friend') comes along, challenges you then it's you that has to dig into your pockets! As my mother once said 'Who needs enemies with friends like these!'

So it was Lesley's turn and balcony is the scene. We rehearse a couple of times, making sure there isn't anyone sitting below on their loungers, the i-phone rolls and we have a film to post on Facebook. Have you 'liked it' yet?

How do you taste 150 different foods in a couple of hours? With difficulty, but you can try at Latitudes in the Jumeriah Beach Hotel at their evening buffet. To finish the evening, get the elevator to the 24th floor and marvel at Dubai downtown lights.
