Room lights going out completely

Hi

Last night at 1030 after a workout and seeing the pool.at night I came back to my room and the lights would not come on so the room was completely dark eve after pressing the switch various times.
I was able to find my mobile phone and turn on its torch and the tvs which worked to give some light.

I phoned the operator and just before he came the lights turned on by themselves .he tested the switches and it seemed that you had to hold the master on switch longer than normal but he said he would loook into it.
this morning whilst shaving the lights went out again but this time touching the master switch turned them back on and at least during the day with the curtains partially drawn there is enough natural light
will mention this to the staff.

Woke up a bit early and saw the sun rise in downtown dubai with a beautiful view of the burj Khalifa which has since become hazy.
trying the downstairs restaurant for breakfast and is very good so far and moderately busy.

Noticed blueberry chia mango yoghurt cinnamon buns and blueberry pancakes
hot and humid outside

regards

Tbs
pool quite busy but no problem getting a lounger at the adult pool at 1020 sat morning but will get busier later on .
pool attendant brought and set up 2 blue towels and brought a bucket full of ice with 4 waldorf astoria water bottles in it.


Sea is still warm in the morning but cooler than later in the day. Pool were getting busier as Saturday wore on..
from 1245 to 1400 the Pearl Club serves soup . Today it was cauliflower truffle. Bread rolls also provided.
will head up for afternoon tea then a work out then Beach and evening snacks.
