To fill the void last Friday, we decided a brunch was in order so we convened at around midday at the Ajman Hotel (the one that used to be the Kempinski), the unfortunate establishment we had chosen. Actually, we had a pretty good time and we also had a good view of the sea conditions that fully vindicated our decision not to take a boat out.<br \/>The brunch officially ended at 4pm but we had stockpiled enough supplies to keep us going for another couple of hours. With the advent of nightfall we adjourned to the 10-pin bowling alley.<br \/>At this point the party split into leavers and remainers (why does that phrase sound familiar?) with a majority for remain. A good few games of bowling followed by some pool took the whole thing through to 11pm at which point the party depleted further. The most dedicated remainers stayed until the backstop \u2013 sorry closing time \u2013 and I\u2019m guessing were feeling a bit delicate in the morning.<\/p>\n<p><em>A few words from the guilty:<br \/>\u201cWoke up phone-less. After recovering with mandolin and yoga I went back to the hotel where they told me that they hadn\u2019t found a phone but would call me if they did. Too hungover to point out the obvious flaw in this reasoning I drove home using the sun as a substitute for Google maps\u201d<br \/>Is this what they call pilotage?<br \/>\u200b<br \/>\u201cThere are several reasons I gave up brunches years ago. I just remembered them all\u201d<br \/>\u200b<br \/>At 3.00am an unknown dancer whatssapp&#8217;d to the group, &#8221;I want to go home&#8221;<br \/>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/><\/em>Angela is looking into a link-up dive, possibly to the Dara with Dubai Natural History Group.
