It seems only a few days since we were enjoying the last weekend and that this next one has come about very quickly indeed. Well it hasn't, it is just that, as we all know, the last weekend was long one. Even though we are back to normal length weekends, it doesn't mean it is any quieter or calmer, there is a heap of stuff to keep you busy with friends and family. It's Sevens weekend in Dubai, the 50th one in fact, and as well as the big rugby event, there is comedy, concerts, fun run and fitness events for all to visit. Get busy, get active and enjpy the next few days.
